glitches on the system tray, at the bottom of the screen

SUMMARY

Randomly at boot I can see glitches on the system tray (see the attached image file), these glitches disapears if I disconnect/reconnect to plasma.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use an old amd radeon graphic card (like AMD radeon HD4650) with the radeon driver
2. Use a rolling release linux distribution like arch linux
3. At boot I can see glitches on the system tray
4. If I disconnect/reconnect the plasma session then the glitches disapears

OBSERVED RESULT
Glitches on the system tray

EXPECTED RESULT
No glitches on the system tray
