KDE 4.4 tray problem

Sun Jan 10, 2010 10:43 am
Hi, i've been using kde 4.4 since beta 1 and everything seemed to be working just fine except for the system tray. It shows only notifications, mixer, akonadi and kopete. It wouldn't be such a problem for apps like ktorrent or amarok since i can just keep the on desktop but it's really problematic for things like knetworkmanager. So maybe someone had yhe same problem and found some solution?

Cheers, mehow10.

Could you right click the system tray and go to system tray settings?

Please make sure every item under 'icons' in there is checked ;)

Sorry for bumping the thread but seriously - am i the only one with this problem? Is there some config file for tray i could mess with or do you now some app that could replace the system tray?

4.4 is still beta, so perhaps you encountered a bug in it.
did you file a bug report?

Temporarily move your ~/.kde directory and restart KDE - if it's fixed it's due to old config files. If not, bugtime :D

Re: KDE 4.4 tray problem  Topic is solved

Thanks for the tip, I moved kde folder but when i tried to relog it gave me a bunch of error about "not writable files" and kicked me back to kdm. Fortunately all i had to do was change permissions in new /.kde to my user and now not only tray works properly but whole kde is running significantly faster :)
Now i just have to move some kopete and ktorrent configs back to get it fully working.
Thanks :)
