Bug ID: 493899
Summary: Autostarted applications can load before the system
tray is ready, resulting in missing entries.
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.5
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Startup process
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: stev...@runbox.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Some applications which include a systray icon load before the system tray is
ready if added to "Autostart" (plain xdg-autostart, no systemd).
Most reliable reproducer here is 'opensnitch-ui' (go, QT5). This one is
especially annoying since it becomes impossible to open the UI without manually
killing the 'opensnitch-ui' process first, because it has an "already running"
check and the only way to raise the running instance is via the missing systray
icon.
Starting the application manually after plasma has fully loaded works as
expected, and the systray icon appears.
If added to autostart as a script, a 'sleep 2' before calling the application
also results in the systray icon appearing correctly.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add opensnitch-ui to autostart
2. relog
3. check for running process and systray icon
OBSERVED RESULT
'opensnitch-ui' is running, but has no systray icon and can't be raised.
EXPECTED RESULT
Autostarted applications with a systray icon get a systray icon.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Gentoo Linux 2.15
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2
Kernel Version: 6.6.51-gentoo-dist (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have only observed this in a wayland session, and can't reproduce it under
X11. Hesitant to tag it as such though, as I can't prove it's wayland specific
and not just a race whose timing is influenced by more general differences in
wayland vs. x11 startup.
This might be a regression of 425315 ("fixed") and it's many duplicates, though
that bug is rather old and pertains to QT5. Please mark it as such and reopen
that one if this is the case.
