Description Christian (Fuchs) 2010-12-24 00:28:42 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

Since updating to 4.6RC1, the system tray fails to contain any plasmoids until any configuration value is changed (initially it loads with a default set of plasmoids). 

I tried with a clean config, even with a different user, same issue. 

plasma-desktop(6807)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) 
plasma-desktop(6807)/libplasma Plasma::AppletPrivate::mainConfigGroup: requesting config for "Benachrichtigungen" without a containment!

this is printed in ~/.xsession.errors. 

Qt is 4.7.1, KDE is 4.6RC1, Gentoo x86_64

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Have a systray (either in the panel or on the desktop
2) Change any configuration (hide an entry, remove a plasmoid ...) 

Actual Results:  
3) The systray is uanble to contain plasmoids such as the battery, the notifications(!) and the network management. If you try to add them, they disappear right away. 

Expected Results:  
3) Systray still contains plasmoids and they can be added

Sorry, I should not report bugs after midnight: 

"ince updating to 4.6RC1, the system tray fails to contain any plasmoids until
any configuration value is changed" 

as soon as a configuration value has been changed, not until. 

A workaround is to add the specific plasmoids (notifications, battery, network, device notifier) directly to the panel, which unfortunately takes a lot of space away.

Confirmed here too.

This does not happen when System Tray plasmoids are also added in the [Containment] config of the panel in plasma-desktop-appletsrc like 4.5 instead of the entries going to plasma-desktoprc like in 4.6RC1.

Confirmed here.. 
Hope the patch will release not to long

Seems to be fixed in RC2, I'll test a bit more and mark it as fixed if no issue shows up until the end of the week. 

Thanks so far. 

Kind regards, 

Christian
