Version: (using KDE 4.0.83) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux As an icon is added or removed to the system tray, white thin rectangular artifacts appear on both sides of the icons (or only the icon added sometimes) as the panel presumably refreshes or something This is a regression, since it was not happening in KDE 4.0.5
I also want to add that the tray is working perfect and fine, and functionality is preserved and icons are all there with no anomalies so it is only a matter of paint
Are you using nvidia drivers?
Yes Sir. I hope this is not the problem though. This problem was not there when I was on KDE 4.0.5 .. and appeared when I upgraded to 4.1 .. perhaps making it a sort of regression in my case I also did not change the nvidia driver I had.
can you attach a screenshot of the problem, please? thanks..
Unfortunately, it also seems that this thing does not appear on taking a screenshot. For your sake, I describe it as white vertical-rectanglish sometimes squarish artifacts that appears at the side of the icons when the system tray is refreshed. Sometimes, at startup, for example - when like 4 icons are loaded a big squarish one which covers most of one the icons appear. The soon disappear when everything becomes stable and only to reappear when an icon is a added or removed from the tray.
sounds like a up of bug #158094

Confirmed. I reverted to non-nvidia drivers .. the problem persists. This is not an nvidia issue.
Are you talking about a flicker of white when the icon appears? Or does the white persist?
No. It is a flicker that only appears as the tray gets refreshed when an icon is added or removed .. then they disappear. This explains why I could not get a screenshot. perhaps similar to here http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163353 but not a flicker but squarish and rectangularish artifacts .. very noticeable. It could be an nvidia issue, although last night I formatted my HD and reinstalled Kubuntu and did not install the NVIDIA proprietary drivers this time .. but still it persists. Last night, when I reinstalled Kubuntu (with KDE 4.0) this problem was not there!! It only appeared when I upgraded to the KDE 4.1 beta 2
It's changes to the layouting algorithm and actual systray embed timings.
I have a similar issue on my system (except that it can also be black artifacts or even odd bits of color). See attached screenshot.

Hi! Same problem here. I'm using Version 4.1.00 (KDE 4.0.99 (4.1 RC1+)) from Debian experimental, the intel driver and kwin effects turned off . Thanks. On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 2:03 PM, Emmanuel Surleau <emmanuel.surleau@gmail.com> wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
I'm seeing this also with trunk (today's build). Radeon driver but no composite enabled.

I think this bug is a duplicate of http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158094
I am getting this as well. It didn't appear in the 4.0.98 release.

Guys, you even have black-backgrounded Icons in the system tray, in the screenshot, that you put into 4.1.1 announce.. Please go and see yourself: http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/screenshots/desktop.png Some icons, like "Battery" or "Recently Plugged" are good there[I believe, those ones, that are SVG], but the rest ones, like "Network Manager", KMix, Klipboard, etc. -- all have black background, where Transparent pixels should be..
