and now it works!
Thanks!
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2024-03-14 14:47:24 UTC 
Well, we still need to investigate what caused the issue. You finding a local workaround doesn't fix it for everyone else (which is the point of having a bug report to track issues). Re-opening.
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2024-03-14 17:49:46 UTC 
Investigated this a bit. If adding "ShouldShow=false" to the config file works, then it's evidence of a packaging problem in the distro. In Plasma 5, we did use the "ShouldSho"` key for this, but that was removed in Plasma 6. There is no longer any code in the repo that checks for "ShouldShow" in the config file. Perhaps the old KDED module is still being used?

Moving to Neon.

I noticed what you see in the attached screenshot
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2024-03-18 15:19:15 UTC 
Actually, the KDED module was introduced in Plasma 6; in f we used an autostart entry. Per Bug 481997, it looks like that wasn't cleaned up on Neon following the Plasma 6 upgrade.
