Thanks for your report! Yes, it doesn't seem to honor the "Show icon on system tray" setting at login. Can't tell ATM if ibus or KDE is responsible for that.
With that said, and considering that you prefer it to not be shown, I can't help suspecting that ibus is running unnecessarily on your system. Up to 20.04 ibus was installed for everyone on Kubuntu but only started by default if the language was Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Vietnamese. >From 20.10 ibus is not installed for everyone, but if you install it it's started automatically. The idea is that if ibus is installed it's assumed that you want to use it. (This can be controlled via the "Input Method Configuration" GUI.) So unless you use some IBus input method, the natural solution to fix it for you may be to simply uninstall ibus. Please clarify your actual use case. ** Changed in: ibus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1930145 Title: IBus Panel Show Icon on system tray doesn't persist To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1930145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
