QSystemTray stays longer than it should !

I just created a QSystemTray.

Code:

---

trayIcon->showMessage("Beta 0.9", "You are logged in", trayIcon->Information, 1);

---

The idea is that the message displayed in the tray should stay for a very short period of time, but it stays there for about 10 seconds.

1. How can I make sure that the message disappears after 2 seconds ?

2. The system tray icon is a child of my QMainWindow, but when I close the window, the icon stays in the system tray. Why ? How can I destroy it together with the window ?

Notice that QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage() takes the time parameter as milliseconds so you should try passing 2000.

Closing a window does not delete it unless you set the Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose attribute:

Code:

---

setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose, true);

I have set the time to 2000, but it is still the same... no matter what it is the same

I am showing this bubble after I call show(); in the tray icon !!!

What is wrong ?
