Every time my plasma-desktop crash the new plasma-desktop instance show up. But in systray I got every time more and more empty entries- no icon, no text. so systray consume whole my panel with these entries. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.crash plasma-desktop 2.run again plasma-desktop 3. Actual Results: systray consume whole my panel with these empty entries. Expected Results: I got every time more and more empty entries- no icon, no text. only I can do is to get to the systray option and set for all this entries hidden atribute. That gives back my panel layout. But when I press arrow to show up my hidden systray icons, I've got of it a lot.

A quick search (I could have missed others) it seems this problem has been reported (and marked as RESOLVED) several times in the last years, and in different versions: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300005 4.8.3 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290982 4.8rc2 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293472 4.8.0 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240347 4.4.8

Could you try to remove it and see if plasma crashes on resume from suspend? In my case, I deleted all my plasma files in ~/.kde/share/config/ , and the crash at resume (and multiplication of empty system tray items) would no longer happen. Then I started to add one by one the plasmoids I used to have in the previous setup, and voila, once I added the "Window menu" plasmoid, crashes happened again (as before, - not at every resume, at about 2/3rds). Remove the plasmoid, and - no crash again. I still do not get how is this related to the multiplication of system tray items, though...
Sorry, the plasmoid I was referring to in comment #4 is called not "Window Menu" but "Window Menubar".
Thanks for spotting, Stefano. Confirmed in current 4.9 beta2, it still happens after a plasma crash. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 293472 ***
