[Lucid] Systray icons auto-hide doesn't work anymore

[Swâmi Petaramesh]

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

The icons "auto-hide" feature in KDE system tray doesn't work anymore since latest round of KDE updates. Icons stay visible all the time unless manually set to "hidden".

Most annoying on small screen (netbook) given the growing number of arguably useless icons in systray...

What icons in particular?
Can you be more precise than "latest round of KDE updates"? When did this start? Can you attach /var/log/dpkg.log?

Hi Harald,

This bug was about all icons that auto-mask, i.e. kdewallet, bluetooth (when no bluetooth H/W available) etc.

There have been a lot of KDE updates since Lucid Beta 1, the bug appeared after the update that installer version mentioned in the bug (plasma-widgets-workspace 4:4.4.1-0ubuntu7) bug seems to have been fixed since (I now have version 4:4.4.2-0ubuntu6), so I will change this bug to fixed status.
