Hi I am running up-to-date Sid and during the latest dist-upgrade kde plasma fails to initialize correctly with symptoms similar to bug #907301 (no system tray with task bar and no context menu of desktop).
I have tried downgrading the recently upgraded packages to plasma-workspace 4:5.14.5.1-5 libkworkspace5-5 4.5.14.5.1-5 but problem remains. I suspect I have missing or erroneous packages installed but cannot see which ones are in error. Other window managers (LXDE and XFace) are working correctly. Any suggestions to where the problem is occurring?
