Description H.H. 2010-07-28 08:44:25 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.92) 
OS:                Linux

around every 5 boots, plasma shows only 2 of my system tray icons. the only thing, that helps is "kill plasma-desktop" and start it again. after that, all icons are shown again. I know some of the programs (for example kopete) are in background even if not shown.

Reproducible: Sometimes




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-12-desktop
Compiler: gcc

"plasma shows only 2 of my system tray icons"

which two? and which ones aren't shown? after restarting plasma-desktop, if you mouse over the now-shown ones do you get Plasma-style tooltip windows or Qt application style ones?
Comment 2 H.H. 2010-07-28 20:52:37 UTC
I remember only that one of them was always nm-applet (gnome networkmanager applet). The other questions have to wait until that problem happens again.
Comment 3 H.H. 2010-07-29 23:00:02 UTC
now it happened again. Shown are nm-applet and kde-device-manager-applet.
Not shown are kopete, kmix, knemo, kbluetooth and battery-applet. the only application for which I get non-plasma-tooltips is nm-applet.
Comment 4 Aaron J. Seigo 2010-07-30 00:34:58 UTC
hm.. sounds like a problem with setting up the dbus based icons properly. curious: what version of Qt do you have installed?
Comment 5 H.H. 2010-07-30 00:39:53 UTC
qt-4.6.3
Comment 6 H.H. 2010-07-30 08:14:18 UTC
same problems with kde-4.5rc3. new started applications (like akregrator, audacious) are shown in the systemtray.
Comment 7 H.H. 2010-07-30 15:23:14 UTC
I noticed another interesting thing: when, after boot, the proble appears, also another problem appears:

the classic kde-menu shows its menus without submenus, for example the menu should be

kmenu
-internet
--browsers
---opera
---firefox
--chat
---pidgin
---kopete
-multimedia
--players
---kaffeine
---xmms

but it shows
kmenu
-internet
--opera
--firefox
--pidgin
--kopete
-multimedia
--kaffeine
--xmms
Comment 8 H.H. 2010-09-05 00:24:03 UTC
problem still exists in 4.5.1

my standard icons

after every second boot, I have to restart plasma first, to get the icons all shown. (the two icons working are nm-applet (second from left) and device-manager)
Comment 10 H.H. 2010-10-11 18:54:01 UTC
this still exists in 4.5.2, I am really annoyed from killing&starting plasma after most kde-starts since some months now.
Comment 11 Claude Sadois 2011-12-03 18:08:44 UTC
this should be fixed by now.
