I have two panels and on each one I have system tray and I want to have them show different items, so I need to have different settings for them.
In one (tray A) I have shown programs that are minimized to tray but I can't have them in second (tray B) visible. Tray B seems to not react to changes in settings.
In tray A for example I have icon of minimized quiterss visible and there is also an entry in tray settings for this program. But there is no option to add entry manually.

Can you tell me if two system trays have two separate configuration files? What is the name of the file and what can I check/edit to make minimized programs visible in second tray?

Edit:

I've found solution. My goal was to have icons of minimized program on panel B (while previously I had them on panel A). I noticed that in config file
/home/user_name/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
there is an entry:
Code: Select all
[Containments][143][Applets][148][Configuration][Applets][322][Configuration]
customPosition=-13,23
customPositionAffinityHoriz=r
customPositionAffinityVert=b

[Containments][143][Applets][148][Configuration][Applets][322][Configuration][ExtenderItems][5]
extenderIconName=dialog-information
extenderItemName=jobGroup
extenderItemPosition=0
extenderTitle=Zadania
isCollapsed=true
isGroup=true
sourceAppletId=322
sourceAppletPluginName=notifications

[Containments][143][Applets][148][Configuration][Applets][322][PopupApplet]
DialogHeight=108
DialogWidth=200


I also noticed that panel A has number [143] and panel B has number [343]. So I copied the above fragment of code to the section of panel B and changed 143 to 343. And re-logged. As I didn't removed entries concerning panel A but only copied them to panel B settings I was surprised that minimized icons disappeared from panel A. But that's not a problem for me, because I wanted to have them on panel B.

I solved my problem but I wish there was an easy way to add remove system tray entries. I also wish there was a documentation available for KDE configuration files.
