All of a sudden for no reason, the system icons dropdown is blank and now does nothing when I click it! Why's it doing this?

Once, I had that problem too. Tried several times by restarting the application. In the end it was magically vanished... I don't know if there was a package upgrade or simply a restart...

But my point is: it solved itself...

How long will it take to solve itself though? Restarting didn't fix it. I really want this fixed ASAP.

Well I think it stopped after updating a kde package... but I don't really remember... maybe theres a config wich could be remove to solve the problem... but again I don't know. Didn't see any patter to keep in mind.

Just wanted to give you some hope. Just in case you need it^^

I FINALLY managed to fix it after... installing a new program from a repo that added an icon to the menu.

Is this a known bug?

You may have found that running "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental" could have fixed the problem.
