Description Rémi Piau 2025-07-15 18:13:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
When the kdeconnect daemon (kdeconnectd) crashes or is killed kdeconnect system tray erroneously displays the "No device paired message" even if it is not the case.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Have a device paired in kdeconnect
1. Kill the daemon `ps -ax | grep "bin/kdeconnectd$" | cut -d ' ' -f 2 | xargs kill`
2. Open kdeconnect system tray

OBSERVED RESULT
System tray displays "No device paired" message but this is not the case.

EXPECTED RESULT
System tray displays an error message (daemon unavailable, you may have encountered a bug) and a button to restart it.
