Description Marco Parillo 2022-03-25 19:10:53 UTC

SUMMARY
I used to invoke kteatime once with krunner, and it sat in my tray. Now it seems to disappear with every reboot. Could it be related to Wayland, which I have also recently begun using.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. krunner
2. kteatime
3. reboot

OBSERVED RESULT

kteatime loads in the tray, but is not there after reboot

EXPECTED RESULT

kteatime shoud persist across reboots.

Confirmed. kteatime would re-appear in my system tray after each re-boot when running X-Windows, but does not re-appear under Wayland. After every re-boot on Wayland, I need to start kteatime. Most recent configuration:

KTeaTime is an application that needs to be started explicitly for the tray icon to appear.

It sounds like on X11 you are using session restore which then also restores KTeaTime. On Wayland we don't have session restore, so it's not restored on Wayland.

I'd suggest you add KTeaTime in the Autostart settings if you want it to be loaded at boot

Thank you. I did not manually specify session restore, but perhaps it was the default (on two different distros). I will have a chance to test on at least one of them in the coming weeks.

Comment 4 Marco Parillo 2023-09-21 19:15:26 UTC

I just installed the Kubuntu Daily Build. The default on x11 Desktop Session Logout Screen was:
On login, launch apps that were open On last logout. 

When I logged out, and switched in SDDM the same default is shown in System Settings.
You are saying Wayland cannot honor that default?
Is that a bug in Wayland?

So, is this a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436318
