Auto-hiding the system tray icon will be prevented on the Unity desktop, in KDE

I think that KAlarm needs to set the default system tray icon visibility based
on the desktop (determined by XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable). If the
desktop is Unity, it should default to visible at all times.

I am unaware of any method of viewing hidden notification in Unity.

As for the "Show Icon" settings, Unity appears to not handle these as expected.
I don't recall changing the setting, but it was already set to "Always Show".

I tested the other settings by first disabling my only set alarm and then
applying the settings, the icon remained. It wasn't until I used the "Enable
Alarms" toggle that the icon disappeared, but this behavior occurred even when
"Always Show" was selected.

Additionally, deselecting "Show Icon" did nothing after applying the setting
and the icon remained.

To sum it up, the icon only appears when the "Enable Alarms" toggle is checked,
but disappears whenever it is unchecked... regardless of "Show Icon" settings.

The question is whether Unity provides an option to display hidden system tray
icons. If it does, you can use that to see the icon.

Alternatively, you can use KAlarm's configuration dialog to show the icon at
all times. Go to the menu option Settings -> Configure KAlarm. Then select the
View page, General tab, and choose "Always show" under "Show in system tray".

I was using Unity when I encountered the lack of an icon.

I have since added a recurring alarm and the icon is now present. It just seems
odd that the icon is missing entirely with no alarm set and not simply switched
to a disabled alarm icon.

I install Kalarm whenever I set up a clean install and usually don't set an
alarm right away because I would not have yet moved over my custom alarm
sounds. While most users may immediately set an alarm at first run, I imagine
several users that prefer Kalarm to the various other available alarms may
experience the same issue and try to resolve it before setting an alarm (as I
did for nearly a day).

I downgraded the importance to 'normal', but it would be nice to have this
altered whenever a new update comes out.

I'm not sure how indicator icons work in Ubuntu, but on some systems certain
icons can be hidden by default unless they are manually shown. For example, in
the KDE Plasma desktop, clicking an up-arrow icon beside the other icons brings
up a list of hidden indicator icons (which can then be clicked in the same way
as the non-hidden icons). There is a settings dialog which can be used to
control this, so that any icon can be always displayed, always hidden or use
automatically controlled visibility.

KAlarm by default hides its icon when no alarms are active, so I would expect
the behaviour you are seeing. The only question is how you get access to hidden
icons in Ubuntu.

What desktop are you using - Unity, Gnome 3 or what?
