Icon of 'Plasma' show up on KDE

[Arthur Flôr]

After a while, the Dock gains the Plasma icon.
This icon doesn't show anything and doesn't close.

This problem came on the new version of the plank (0.11.3).

Plank version: 0.11.3
Linux distribution: Arch linux with KDE
Window-manager: KWin
Architecture: x64

Same environment, same bug. Caused by /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop, perhaps?

[NiklasW (post-y)]

Also on Arch, same problem. Tried making changes to /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop both for english and my own language - but to no avail.

This is a kinda annoying behaviour for an otherwise excellent app - a fix would be greatly appreciated! :)

Same for me on Arch as well. It's like a background task is showing up in the dock.

I am on Arch too, it seems to happen whenever a notification pops up or when you connect a usb stick and it pops up with the options for it.

Plank 0.11.3
Kubuntu 17.04
amd64

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Toan Nguyen (dtoan96)]

Same here, it is the program that control desktops, if you are using multiple desktops, it will appear.

Solved; Go to Plank Preferences-Behaviour-Restrict to workspace.
