Sounds like I need to look out for a different distro or desktop environment then. Is there a good alternative that still supports KDE4, or is there a desktop environment that supports session restore and a system tray that can cope with Hexchat and Vidyo properly?
You can e.g. run "wmsystemtray" inside Plasma5 for old-style system tray icons, as suggested by Martin Graesslin (one of the main KWin developers) here: http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/ An openSUSE package is available here: http://software.opensuse.org/package/wmsystemtray Maybe this should be added to Factory/Tumbleweed?
Another option would be "icewmtray" which is even installed by default.
But as Plasma's system tray is just a plasmoid like any other, one could of course also write an additional system tray plasmoid that supports XEmbed icons, or even port the old KDE4 one to Plasma5. Even if it is not part of Plasma5 itself, it would be easy to install it and add it to the panel in addition to or even instead of the standard one.
Just a heads up, another "solution" is available now meanwhile: http://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/xembed_back In short, that's a "daemon" that converts old-style XEmbed system tray icons to the new system on the fly. It probably will be part of Plasma 5.5, but it's already available as package in Tumbleweed and Leap RC1 (and also in KDE:Frameworks5). So you can install it *now*, the package is called "xembed-sni-proxy". If you install it, it will be started by default on login and all your old- style systray icons should be back even in Plasma5... ;-) Kind Regards, Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
