After updating my System (emerge -auDNv world system) nearly everything was working correctly except the new KDE's system tray. The interesting thing about it is that the system tray is working correctly with the root user. For each other user on my sys the system tray keeps some space free for the icons but they are not drawn neither a application tray menu is shown when I click right into it (i tried that with kmix which should normaly show a tray icon). http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=trayproblemre4.png emerge --info Portage 2.1.6.7 (default/linux/x86/2008.0, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1, 2.6.25-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.25-gentoo-r9-i686-mobile_AMD_Athlon-tm-_XP2500+-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 23 Jan 2009 07:15:01 +0000 distcc 3.1 i686-pc-linux-gnu [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p48 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7-r1, 2.1.6-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.4-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.3.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.19 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6a virtual/os-headers: 2.6.28-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/4.1/env /usr/kde/4.1/share/config /usr/kde/4.1/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/lib/hsqldb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dfx 3dnow X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa apm arts audiofile berkdb bzip2 calendar cdr cli cracklib crypt ctype cups dbus dri dvd dvdr dvdread encode exif fam ffmpeg fftw flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gcj gd gdbm geoip ggi gif glut gpm gps gtk gtk2 iconv icq idn ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 isdnlog jack java javascript jpeg jpeg2k kde kde4 kdeprefix kerberos krb4 ldap lm_sensors midi mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mudflap mysql ncurses nis nls nptl nptlonly ogg openmp pam pcre perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba scanner session slp snmp spl ssl svg sysfs tcpd tiff truetype unicode usb vcd vorbis wifi win32codecs wmf x86 xine xinerama xml xml2 xorg xpm xsl xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1 emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audiovia82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindexcache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev glint i810 intel mach64 mga neomagic nv r128 radeon savage sis tdfx trident vesa vga via vmware voodoo" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: No idea
Well, I experience the same problem. Using kde 4.1.2 and qt 4.9999 (from qting-edge) My emerge --info output http://pastebin.com/f42c7a97f
With 4.1 and 4.2.0 my system tray see icons. I update to KDE 4.2.3 and now I have no icon visible in system tray. I see a mailing report exactly like I see. http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/KDE/2009-03/msg00225.html
Do you still have issues with 4.2.4 / 4.3?
