            Bug ID: 123959
           Summary: Please bring back systray quickstarter for Linux
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: apandada1 at gmail.com

Description:
Until version 5.4 Libreoffice could be run in the background with the systray
quickstarter option, and it took a fraction of a second to open a file.

Since version 6, the quickstarter was removed from Linux, and now it takes 7-8
seconds to open a file, or to open a new Libreoffice window.

Running the command `libreoffice --minimized` does not help much, because it
opens a libreoffice window, which speeds up opening of the file for the first
instance, and the whole program closes when the file is closed (It does not run
in the background).

The command `libreoffice --invisible` seems to prevent Libreoffice windows from
opening altogether. It seems that there is no way to run Libreoffice in the
background.

I don't know why the feature was removed from Linux, but I feel that it was
very useful.

Note: In version 6.0, the package `libreoffice-systray` could be manually
installed which provided this feature. From version 6.1 onwards, it was not
possible to run in the system tray at all.
I have 4 GB ram and a quad-core i3 processor, and now Libreoffie takes 7-8
seconds to open a file, while with quickstarter enabled, it only took a
fraction of a second.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install `libreoffice-systray` in Linux

Actual Results:
The command `libreoffice --quickstarter` or `libreoffice --quickstart` does not
make LibreOffice run in the background. There is no way to enable quickstarter
in `tools > options`

Expected Results:
Libreoffice should run in the background and show itself in the system tray.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
