Description gandalf3 2015-09-22 21:40:40 UTC
Konversation goes into an infinite loop when "Enable System Tray" is enabled in Settings > Behaviour > General Behaviour.

Output:

XSync seems available and ready
XSync Inited
Supported, init completed
Created alarm 35651585
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
...
(repeats endlessly)

Note that I'm using openbox and tint2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start konversation
2. Enable Settings > Behaviour > General Behaviour > Enable System Tray

Actual Results:  
Konversation froze

Expected Results:  
Expected tray icon to appear in panel

I'm using openbox for my wm and tint2 as my panel.
Konversation worked fine in the past.

This seems to be happening with any KDE5 app with a tray icon and any system tray that is not plasmashell.

I have verified this bug with the following trays:

* Trayer
* Taffybar
* Stalonetray

and the following KDE5 programs:

* Kiten
* Klipper
* KWalletmanager5

However it does not affect KDE5 programs without tray icons

* Dolphin
* Systemsettings5

Nor KDE4 programs with tray icons

* Choqok
* Kopete
* Clementine
* KGPG

Nor GTK+ programs with tray icons

* Deluge

Probably related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355992

I can confirm that using the new KF5 based KMail 5.1 and i3 as window manager.

However, I have eased that problem by setting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt5ct and installing qt5ct. Now I have a missing icon, but just a clickable space where KMail should be (with working tooltip info and context menu)
Comment 3 Martin Ueding 2016-01-05 15:48:36 UTC
I have the same problem with Klipper on Fedora 23 as I use Awesome WM.
Comment 4 Kakadu.hafanana 2016-06-14 20:11:07 UTC
It happens with akregator  too. I will  be glad if that could be fixed.
Comment 5 kedrot 2016-06-14 21:35:35 UTC
Kiten no longer loops forever; however, the "No icon set" message still appears (albeit only once). Still no icon shows up in other trays.

Is there a mechanism through which a QApplication/QWindow defines a default icon? Is this being skipped in these apps?
Comment 6 Kakadu.hafanana 2016-08-03 21:36:18 UTC
Folks, can we somehow raise priority of this bug?
Comment 7 godel9 2016-11-22 08:17:19 UTC
I have found one way to avoid the problem (I have tried it with xmonad and it works for opening  klipper). Just use in a terminal
 > export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=generic
before launching klipper
 > klipper
Comment 8 Jean-Michaël Celerier 2017-09-20 09:21:41 UTC
Getting the same bug for months when using

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde 

or 

QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=plasma

Other themes such as QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=plasma do work, but I'd really like to have the "plasma" platform theme (while keeping i3 as a window manager).
Comment 9 Tomasz Borowik 2020-10-26 04:33:43 UTC
+10 can't remember how many years I've been suffering this.
Using dwm + trayer on nixos, and this completely blocks various minor kde/qt applications from launching at all.

For me the QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME workaround doesn't work.
But this does: unset XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Now if I remember correctly adding XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=kde somewhere was a workaround for some other failure, unfortunately can't remember what.

Soon we'll need a whole new system service for managing environment variable workarounds to launch any gui program;p

Sorry for being snarky, posted mainly to mention the workaround in my case, not to just complain.

Comment 14 Jean-Michaël Celerier 2022-11-29 20:17:49 UTC
I just tried again and it still goes into the infinite loop. 

     QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde konversation

is enough to reproduce for me when its systray is enabled.

up-to-date archlinux
i3wm as a window manager
plasma 5.26
kde frameworks 5.100
konversation 22.08.3-1
Comment 15 Jean-Michaël Celerier 2022-11-29 20:18:04 UTC
Forgot to reopen sorry
Comment 16 Balló György 2024-07-14 15:05:27 UTC
Still happens with Qt6 applications if 'QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=kde' is set outside of KDE session, but the 'org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher' D-Bus interface is unavailable or gone.

It's already reported here:
