Bug#769859: [workrave] Displays 2 icons in the system tray (KDE?)

Are you sure you don't have both the system tray icon and the applet turned on? They can be turned on/off from the UI section of the preferences. Both are enabled, on Windows as well as on Debian. Disabling either removes an element. Does this mean they are supposed to behave differently?

reopen 769859 retitle 769859 Applet displays a [duplicated] system tray icon rather than the applet in KDE thanks On 2014-11-17 15:39, Francois Marier wrote: On 2014-11-17 at 07:22:34, Filipus Klutiero wrote: Both are enabled, on Windows as well as on Debian. Disabling either removes an element. Does this mean they are supposed to behave differently? Ah, that's the problem then. You should just have system tray icon enabled if you don't want the second icon. That's how I run it. Ooh, OK, I get it. So disabling Active applet is indeed the right workaround for this (although disabling Show system tray icon would achieve the same as things stand). By default, both preferences are enabled. http://www.workrave.org/blog/2004/02/03/windows-applet-works/ shows what the applet is supposed to be. I wouldn't see the applet on Windows 8 even though it is also enabled by default because one also needs to enable its toolbar, as the screenshot shows. The applet does work on Windows 8, but there are several bugs with it, some reported upstream, some reported elsewhere, for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/workrave/+bug/981879 I didn't find one about KDE, but visibly, this is an upstream bug specific to KDE. It is not just a cosmetic bug, but apparently the applet being completely broken under KDE. For what it's worth, I find this applet invasive and would be fine with us disabling it by default.

Bug#769859: [workrave] Displays 2 icons in the system tray (KDE?)
Package: workrave Version: 1.10.4-3 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: 767...@bugs.debian.org Workrave has a system tray element with a sheep icon. On this install, starting Workrave always causes the appearance of 2 such elements. They would seem to represent 2 different Workrave instances, but in fact, a single process is behind both, and trying to terminate any of these apparent instances causes the disappearance of both elements. As it seems that interacting with any of these works, this is apparently nothing more than a cosmetic bug. This issue does not affect Windows. According to upstream ticket #786, Workrave has KDE-specific issues including a lack of sounds. This might be one, but this could also be a duplicate of #767739, which affects GNOME (I do not use GNOME, and the ticket is not clear enough to tell). --- System information. --- Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 Debian Release: jessie/sid 990 testing ftp3.nrc.ca 500 unstable ftp3.nrc.ca 1 experimental ftp3.nrc.ca --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty.

That bug is specifically about multiple processes (I think).
