Version: (using KDE 4.3.4) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs After a fresh log in to KDE 3.5.10 it is impossible to open Kmix 4.3.x window, not from konsole, not from K menu, Kickoff, Krunner. After some not yet discovered operation it starts to appear. It never ever in kicker tray, see bug #225132. This started to happen after update from KDE 4.2.x to KDE 4.3.x. I use KDE 3.5.10 but using a lot of components from upcoming KDE4. Kmix was one of them. Kmix from KDE 4.2.x worked just fine under KDE3 (3.5.10). There is no crach report, no feedback to user. All suggests that Kmix IS running, it is named process list, multimedia keys are working, OSD shows volume reacting on pressing multimedia keys, volume reacts, sound is working. Just the main window does not shows up. Why?! Tested with all Mandriva 2009.1 kmix packages 4.3.1 up to latest 4.3.5. including official and MIB version. I currently use kmix-4.3.5-69.1mib2009.1.

Mh, this could be caused by the new system tray protocol not registering its fallback item for the old FDO trays (like the one in KDE3): bug 210973. - Do you experience this with "Kwalletmanager" (kdeutils) and "korgac" (kdepim) from KDE 4 ? Regards
> kwalletmanager, korgac The same behaviour. Seems to be running but no tray icon or window is open. Are you interested in console output? > bug 210973. That was probably what I was originally looking for. Thanks.
I can't really tell if console output could be useful in this case as I'm not a developer of the code that is related to the bug. Merging with bug 210973. Thanks *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 210973 ***
