The contents of the "Entries" in system tray settings
Here you can see the culprits that are causing all this empty space. If I set all the ":X.X/org/kde/statusnotifieritem/X" entries to "Hidden" the empty space disappears.
Unfortunately, I don't know how I can find out where these notifications are coming from or how to disable (or prevent) them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
One thing I've noticed is that I have a dual-head setup (using NVidia's TwinView) and this seems to happen sometimes when I move the task bar from the bottom of one screen (the laptop screen) to the top of my other screen (the external screen). This doesn't happen always when I do that though. If I have just rebooted the machine this doesn't seem to be a problem but if plasma crashes on me and I restart it, then this empty space seems to get inserted when I move my task bar. I have just the same bug on KDE 4.7.3. These dummy items appear after panel crash which happens more or less frequently. :( I can reproduce this on Kubuntu 11.10 64bit with Qt 4.7.4 and KDE 4.7.4/4.8.0 ( Kubuntu provided). To recoup, either a) Restarting plasma-desktop (by hand, or after crash), or b) Removing and re-adding the systray reproduces this bug every time. On each successive reproduction (in the same desktop session), the number of empty slots in the systray doubles. I'm attaching the output of "plasma-desktop --nofork" as well. All of the 16k lines minus the last 5 were produced during plasma-desktop's startup (3-4 seconds). Thank you for your work! Created attachment 68478 [details]
Output of plasma-desktop --nofork
Sorry for the noise, I meant to say "...All of the ~21k lines minus the last 6 ("void DBusMenuImporterPrivate...") were produced ..."
Workaround: restart kded4. I do it with the following commands (I am not a developer, do it at your own risk) qdbus org.kde.kded /kded quit kded4 I have this problem too. Still occurs here in KDE 4.8.4 after *every* crash or restart of plasma-desktop. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Probably should be closed as WONTFIX because KDE 4 is unsupported. I don't know of anyone who's experienced this in Plasma 5. Plasma 4 has been unsupported for several years now, but please do file a new one if you experience it in Plasma 5. |
Created attachment 67001 [details] Screenshot of my panel after this happens. Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux Sometimes my notification panel grows ridiculously wide and pushes the Task Manager panel so that it becomes tiny. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Unfortunately I cannot find a way to reproduce this but I've provided some screenshots to show how this looks when it does. Expected Results: This should not happen :-)
