Description Oliver Putz 2009-02-03 19:42:03 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Steps to reproduce:

1) Add a System Tray widget to the desktop
2) Add a new activity (second, to the right)
3) Move the Systray widget in the lower right corner of the first activity
4) Switch to the second activity
5) See a crippled Systray widget there that changes its position according to the exact position of "the real widget" on the first desktop / activity

Comment 1 Dario Andres 2009-04-27 02:23:00 UTC
Here using:

Qt: 4.5.0 + qt-copy-patches-942255
KDE: 4.2.70 (KDE 4.2.70 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090415))
kdelibs svn rev. 958964 / kdebase svn rev. 958965
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1

I can reproduce this issue.
I guess it is related to the trayicons protocol limitations.
Comment 2 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-04-27 11:06:07 UTC
you are correct, Dario. there is really nothing we can do about this, sadly, other than get apps moved over to the new systray protocol asap.
