Hi

I have the applet to display minimized software. I can see for example amarok, ktorrent...
But recently Skype and HPLIP are not showing up here anymore.
I checked the system tray settings -> entries and they are not here.

So when I close skype or HPLIP windows, they are still running in background but I can't see them anywhere. I have to launch them again with "K" menu to see their window.

Thanks

Did you update to plasmashell (KDE5)?
It doesn't support an fdo-style systemtray, and those applications likely do not support SNI-style systemtrays.

No I did not update to KDE5 :

Qt : 4.8.6
Plate-forme de développement de KDE : 4.14.1
Outil de gestion de fenêtres Plasma : 4.11.12

Maybe another idea ?

Sorry, missed your last comment.

Only a very remote one:
fdo-style systray icons can only have one representation.
If there're two (or more) systrays on your desktop (perhaps in different activities, eg. for the "different wallpaper for every virtual desktop" setting), they might be in one of those you're not currently looking at.

Good catch, they were on another taskbar, thanks !

Im on KDE5, and im getting "hplip: no system tray found". I guess the hplip developers need to fix it on their end?

It might be sufficient to install https://launchpad.net/sni-qt

Possible point of failures:
a) Qt python bindings (used by hplip, no idea how QSystemTrayIcon is invoked by that)
b) static Qt libs (though probably only a problem with dropbox & skype)

Seems I already have sni-qt installed. Im getting this error dialog at login, but I just discovered that if I run hp-systray manually there is no error.

You'll get the error because plasmashell has not finished setup (there is indeed no systray/SNI area ... *yet*) when hplip started early.

Depending on how hplip is invoked, you could delay it a bit ("sleep 10", or so)

I see, thanks

Now that I upgraded to KDE5 I can have skype in all systrays thanks to sni-qt:i386
But I have the HPLIP bug reported by petehuffington
I think this bug should be reported, but which component is faulty here ?
