A recurring topic since R3.2 and not yet solved:

Some tray icons (in my case nm-applet and evolution-alarm-notify) are 
transparent (or invisible) in KDE. Hovering over or clicking them works.

They are, however, visible in XFCE, but i can not use that due to 4K display 
issues (KDE does that much better unfortunately).

Thanks for any recommendation!

KDE does a lot a things better than XFCE. The three big issues for me were multi-monitor handling, screensaver behavior and color correction; plus about four more that are also important.

The tray icon issue is not really Qubes-specific and appears to be caused by apps using a particularly old 'appindicator' library in a particular way. Last year I created some tests to reproduce the problem from python, but there was no obvious workaround for users to change the behavior of existing apps.

Various troubleshooting threads around the net usually assume that KDE is installed with 'plasma-nm' widget, but my tests with a Qubes template running KDE show the problem still exists.
