Does this mean they are supposed to behave differently?
Ah, that's the problem then. You should just have "system tray icon" enabled
if you don't want the second icon. That's how I run it.

Ooh, OK, I get it. So disabling "Active applet" is indeed the right workaround for this 
(although disabling "Show system tray icon" would achieve the same as things stand).

By default, both preferences are enabled. 
http://www.workrave.org/blog/2004/02/03/windows-applet-works/ shows what the 
applet is supposed to be. I wouldn't see the applet on Windows 8 even though it 
is also enabled by default because one also needs to enable its toolbar, as the 
screenshot shows.

The applet does work on Windows 8, but there are several bugs with it, some 
reported upstream, some reported elsewhere, for example 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/workrave/+bug/981879
I didn't find one about KDE, but visibly, this is an upstream bug specific to 
KDE. It is not just a cosmetic bug, but apparently the applet being completely 
broken under KDE.

For what it's worth, I find this applet invasive and would be fine with us 
disabling it by default.
