I think the original issue described here has been fixed. I can only reproduce
this issue with Dropbox, not any other apps in the tray. After investigating
why Dropbox seems to be affected by it, it seems like a Dropbox problem:

$ grep hiddenItems ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc
hiddenItems=org.kde.plasma.mediacontroller,dropbox-client-1764,org.kde.plasma.clipboard,org.kde.plasma.vault,dropbox-client-1447,dropbox-client-3761

Looks like Dropbox's executable name changes with each login, so the strings
don't match.

If you actually do succeed in getting Dropbox permanently hidden by hiding it
and then quitting and restarting it, it disappears entirely, which is Bug
361613.

To elaborate on this: "The hidden visibility setting in the system tray
settings window aren't saved unless the application represented by the entry is
closed once during the session in which the changes have been made."; I know
believe this to be inaccurate and something else (the identifier generation) is
responsible for it working or not. Sometimes it does, often a new identifier is
created and it doesn't.

After some more investigation, it seems that the hiddenItems field in the
configuration file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc seems to
be populated with more and more entries:

"hiddenItems=10485813,50335619,35651636,41944964,35651637,48236384,58720275,qBittorrent,71303177,41943911,46137352,37748789,54525956,35651682,44040200,39845940,33554485,48234515,46137348,48234500,69217378,37748834,60820430,62916533,62919417,62949545,58720260,46137407,QuiteRss,83886307,50331667,60817417,60817412,48234559,52429027,52428804,39846001,44040419,41943048,117441896,144703551,44040255,94371903,83886089,39846115,35651697,12583897,41943267,48234504,62914569,50331652"

I suspect this to be the root of the problem. Somehow the mechanism to detect
the same application across sessions fails to work properly: known
applications, for which visibility has been specifically configured, are not
recognized and a new identifier is created.

It only happens for entries that are applications.

does this happen only for entries that are applications or also entries that
are plasmoids? (such as audio,battery, clipboard)
