Old XEmbed icons still show up. Will try in a Leap 42.1 VM next. Just for understanding: do the icons not load/display at all, or are they blank? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I noticed that xembedsniproxy is not running at all, that's why the old-style XEmbed icons are not shown. I started it manually, and old-style icons show up then (for newly started applications). But when I quit fcitx and start it manually as well, xembedsniproxy crashes with a segmentation fault. So apparently fcitx causes xembedsniproxy to crash during the login process, causing the reported problem. I will further investigate. CC'ing the last contributers to fcitx as well, it might be a problem in fcitx. Although xembedsniproxy should not crash anyway... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

It just doesn't happen on login here, maybe fcitx is started before xembedsniproxy by chance or something like that. Quitting and again running fcitx (or selecting "Restart" in its context menu) makes xembedsniproxy crash as well and XEmbed icons disappear. I filed a bug report at KDE too, let's see what they say. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358227 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Dropbox is the only other app I use that I am sue uses xembed icons and that consistently does not show up.

Skype is a Qt4 application, and does use the new-style SNI protocol if sni-qt (or as Skype is a 32bit app, sni-qt-32bit on a 64bit system) is installed.
Dropbox is the only other app I use that I am sue uses xembed icons and that consistently does not show up. (no blank space - it just isn't there)
Dropbox uses an xembed icon, yes. As mentioned, you can (re)start xembedsniproxy manually and the icons should appear. Might only work for freshly started applications though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

However, there is a blank space beside the dropbox icon. This seems to be a separate issue to the ongoing blank space icon problem with system tray in plasma 5 which can be corrected by toggling settings. There is no way to make this blank space beside the dropbox icon disappear. Clicking the blank space results in the immediate disappearance of the dropbox icon from system tray and system tray settings. so something still seems to be amiss. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Created attachment 662681 [details] blank tray space and xembed crash
Hm? Where's a crash there?
However, there is a blank space beside the dropbox icon. This seems to be a separate issue to the ongoing blank space icon problem with system tray in plasma 5 which can be corrected by toggling settings.
No. This seems to be an issue of fcitx itself. It apparently creates an XEmbed icon as well which is empty, and this is what made xembedsniproxy crash in the first place. The fix prevents the crash, and now the empty icon is added to the system tray. I see something similar in IceWM as well btw: Often (not always) a blank window appears (old-style system tray icons are just regular application windows that are embedded in the system tray via XEmbed) in addition to the (new-style?) icon in the system tray, which even prevents me from logging out. If you see this as bug, please report it separately against fcitx. Closing as fixed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well, that's a different crash now isn't it? But sorry, I overlooked this sentence about the new crash. Feel free to reopen then or create a new bug report, but please provide a backtrace. (run xembedsniproxy in gdb and reproduce the crash) Might be better to report it upstream though. I will see if I can reproduce it as well, didn't experience that so far in my previous tests and I'm sure I did click on that empty icon. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'll try to get a backtrace and report it upstream at KDE. xembedsniproxy sends a fake mouse click to the application's XEmbed "icon" window when you click on the SNI icon in the system tray. I suspect that window doesn't exist any more or is invalid (this might also have been the reason for the original crash). I still think fcitx is doing something weird here though. Maybe it deletes the window immediately after creating it or something like that? Would maybe also explain why KDE4 e.g. doesn't show that second "icon" at all. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

In the mouse click function it still uses the client geometry without checking for null, a check was added in other places (to prevent the original crash) but not here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
