Yes!


# Start kmail and akregator in the system tray

dcop $(dcopstart kmail) kmail-mainwindow#1 setHidden on
dcop $(dcopstart akregator) akregator_mainwindow setHidden on

starts both kmail and akregator in the system tray.  Launch feedback works 
(the bouncing icon my wife wishes she had on her XP machine), and the window 
appears for a split second and then dissapears to the system tray.

the window part of akregator (akregator_mainwindow) is a little different than 
that for kmail, but dcop akregator gave me the proper name for that.

Thanks!

 Chris
