Description masterdany88 2012-05-14 14:23:29 UTC

Every time my plasma-desktop crash the new plasma-desktop instance show up. But in systray I got every time more and more empty entries- no icon, no text. 
so systray consume whole my panel with these entries.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.crash plasma-desktop
2.run again plasma-desktop
3.
Actual Results:  
systray consume whole my panel with these empty entries.

Expected Results:  
I got every time more and more empty entries- no icon, no text. 

only I can do is to get to the systray option and set for all this entries hidden atribute.
That gives back my panel layout. But when I press arrow to show up my hidden systray icons, I've got of it a lot.

A quick search (I could have missed others) it seems this problem has been reported (and marked as RESOLVED) several times in the last years, and in different versions:

I think the „global menu bar“ (officially this must be called "Window Menu" plasmoid) in the panel is the problem. Could you try to remove it and see if plasma crashes on resume from suspend?

In my case, I deleted all my plasma files in ~/.kde/share/config/ , and the crash at resume (and multiplication of empty system tray items) would no longer happen. Then I started to add one by one the plasmoids I used to have in the previous setup, and voila, once I added the "Window menu" plasmoid, crashes happened again (as before, - not at every resume, at about 2/3rds). Remove the plasmoid, and - no crash again.

I still do not get how is this related to the multiplication of system tray items, though...

Sorry, the plasmoid I was referring to in comment #4 is called not "Window Menu" but "Window Menubar".

Thanks for spotting, Stefano. Confirmed in current 4.9 beta2, it still happens after a plasma crash.
