[ooo-build] How can I use quickstart tool without libvclplug_gtkli.so?

[Xuedong Guo]

Yes, the libqstart_gtklx.so provides the Quickstarter functionality.
Actually I found the Class ShutdownIcon defined in
sfx2/source/appl/shutdownicon.cxx
implements this functionality, which keeps OOo running on background, and
monitors whether an interactive OOo session is opening.
And in sfx2/source/appl/shutdowniconunx.cxx initialize the Quickstarter
systray tool:

void SAL_DLLPUBLIC_EXPORT plugin_init_sys_tray(){
    //Singleton
    ShutdownIcon *pShutdownIcon = ShutdownIcon::getInstance();
    //some gtk codes, relating with libvclplug_gtklx.so
    ......

    // disable shutdown
    pShutdownIcon->SetVeto( true );
    pShutdownIcon->addTerminateListener();
}

If remove libvclplug_gtklx.so and comment these gtk codes, I can get
quickstart functionality but without systray tool. It is actually faster
when start OOo the second time.
I try to start OOo with these gtk codes but some functions such as
gtk_menu_new( ), gtk_tooltips_new( ),gtk_tooltips_set_tip( ) raise
assertions like,

(process:11041): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

(process:11041): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_data: assertion
`G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

It is strange that these gtk functions need libvclplug_gtklx.so. Maybe a KDE
version of Quickstarter alse need a libvclplug_kdelx.so...

I tried oooqs2 but it didn't work...
