Description João Bóia 2014-07-22 21:35:02 UTC

I have a system tray icon (Steam) that doesn't display its name when you hover the mouse over it (nor the application icon). Steam uses appindicator.

If I recall correctly, this was working in in KDE4.

The indicator clearly has a name, if you go to the entries tab in the system tray settings you can see it has the proper name.

I'm not really sure if this is a bug with Plasma 5 or with Steam itself, so please let me know if this isn't a problem with Plasma so I can file this over at Steam's issue tracker.

Git commit 909f1f1ad82248aea6581f8b6576675877ea18b5 by Kai Uwe Broulik.

Show application title if Status Notifier Item does not provide a tooltip

A custom tooltip text is not mandated by the SNI spec. Instead, we just show
the application name and icon if none is given.
This fixes Steam not having a tooltip and restores Plasma 4.x behavior.
