Bug 449531

git master wayland session, FWIW

Odd. I don't remember this bug, probably a regression.
On new layout adding, there should be a Reconfigure signal triggering the applet..

FWIW, I didn't notice any issues with that while trying to reproduce bug 449405, so I probably can't reproduce this either.

Can someone else confirm? Can't reproduce it.
Any chance to try on VM?
What second layout are you adding?

I'll try in a VM and with my distro-provided session. In my built-from-source Plasma session, it happens no matter what the second layout is.

Found the bug. It only reproduces on Wayland, not on X11.

This is consistent for me in my dev sessions, my distro-provided sessions, and in a VM: in all cases, the Keyboard Layout applet appears in the System Tray immediately after adding a second layout if I'm in an X11 session, but plasmashell must be restarted for it to appear if I'm in a Wayland session.

Lowering priority since Wayland-only bugs can't be 15-minute bugs at this point in time.

I'm a permanent Wayland user and have never had this issue.
Can you paste your ~/.config/kxkbrc?
Can someone else reproduce?

Got the issue.

I had following file which hid the issue for me:
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=","
BACKSPACE="guess"
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBOPTIONS="grp_led:scroll"

I have no such file on my system.

My observation is:
On startup the layout icon in the system tray sometimes appears, mostly not. Consequently, this also applies to the shortcuts associated with the layouts.
A work around is opening System Settings/Input Devices/Layouts
mark a layout in the listing
move layout order (up/down)
apply
Now the icon is in the system tray and the shortcut is working

Adapt applets to Plasma api changes

The root item is now ContainmentItem/PlasmoidItem, representations and tooltips
are direct properties of them

keyboard_layout: always expose dbus interface

our plasmoid only listens to signals when the interface was found.
also when switching from 2 to 1 layout we'd emit a signal that the
layouts changed but then we'd throw away our interface leaving
the client wondering what happened to us (and consequently
printing warnings because our service wasn't found)

this specifically resulted in the plasmoid not getting layout event
changes when switching from 1 to >1
