Please see http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/ . Sorry there's not much we can do, but hope dropbox upgrade their internal Qt quickly and stop using super legacy protocols I have reported this to both the dropbox community: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201908279-Systray-icon-not-showing-in-KDE-Plasma-5-2 and the copy support (you'll need a login): https://copy.zendesk.com/requests/62227 Let's hope they respond as quickly as KDE devs ;) Why KDE can not resolve this problem? I use openSuse Thumbleweed with GNOME and all system trays icons work fine, like dropbox, mikogo, skype etc. With new Plasma 5 I can not use these old software! I need an external solution like wmsystemtray! I have a brand-new Plasma 5 interface and must arrange the icons in a separate absolutely ugly window. Im not a power user and have problems to resolve this. I am excited about plasma 5, but the desktop environment should be based on the user and not vice versa. Many users like me will be angry needlessly about such things. I understand the new standards are to be enforced, but not at the expense of the user. Sorry Guys, but i go back to GNOME, cause the old software programs are no longer usable. Why should I change to plasma when I can not use my programs as usual? Support for xembed has been added in the past months :) since some days dropbox-systray-icon is broken again I have this issue with Arch and Opensuse Tumbleweed (both uptodate) Make sure your problem is not related to the systemd boot script: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Starting_on_boot_with_systemd Hi Albert, thanks, but I do not use systemd to start dropbox. Weird; on both Arch and Opensuse, icon reappears after logoff and relogin new dropbox version 3.14.7 re-resolved it for me Same Problem for me. Archlinux and Plasma 5.6. Dropbox Version 3.20.1-1 from AUR. I've got it to work under Archlinux. First of all uninstall Dropbox. sudo pacman -Rsn dropbox Delete User Config: rm -Rf .dropbox* Install libappindicator-gtk3 (I don't know if this is needed) yaourt libappindicator-gtk3 Then install dropbox again. yaourt dropbox And now this was for me the important part. Don't start Dropbox now! Now we create a User Service. systemctl --user edit dropbox Fill the file with following: [Service] Environment=DISPLAY=:0 After this reboot the computer. After next login the Dropbox Wizard shows up and the Systray Icon is available. Sources: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Starting_on_boot_with_systemd I don't know if this is fixed because Evolution (evolution-alarm-notify) and Java (davmail, vuze, etc) apps "show up" but you cannot click on them. For example, Pidgin works OK (right-click has context menu, left-click brings the window up). |
