Description Raymond Wooninck 2016-03-10 14:52:50 UTC

The new systray in plasma-workspace does not initialize itself correctly when the widgets are locked. When the session is started and the widgets are locked, the systray itself is created, but there are no entries. Plasmoids like network monitor, notifications, plasma-pa, Powerdevil, etc are not appearing. For those people that uses Wireless connectivity, this means that the network also is not initialized as that the plasmoid itself is not started.  However once the desktop session has started and I am starting e.g. Kmail, then the new email icon appears in the systray. 

As soon as I unlock the widgets and perform a logout/login, the systray is correctly initialized and all plasmoids are there. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Lock the widgets on the desktop/Panel
2. Logout 
3. Login 

Actual Results:  
The systray is empty, not even the little triangle to show the hidden plasmoids is shown

Expected Results:  
Systray to initialize correctly and show the entries for plasma-pa, notifications, network manager, battery, etc

Marco,

I am very sorry, but with the latest git master (Yesterday evening), I still see exactly the same problem. If I lock the widgets, then after a reboot the panel is there and the systray is indeed present in the panel itself, however none of the entries there for network, volume, battery, notifications, etc have been started. 

Raymond

With the last commit from Ivan, the systray is now functioning correctly.  

I am closing the bugreport. 

Thank you all.
