KDE Plasma 5 - System Tray disappeared

I updated arch with an -Syu, added the redshift widget to the desktop and added the icon to the system tray, as well. Shut down for the night. Restarted today, and then boom... all of my system tray icons are gone... except the redshift icon. They were not gone until reboot.
Halp plz.

Re: KDE Plasma 5 - System Tray disappeared

Solved. Restarted plasmashell. It would not take kstart as a command, however, so killed it with killall plasmashell, and started with with plasmashell &.
Not sure why kstart or any other kde command won't work.
I suppose that's the next thing to dig into.

Re: KDE Plasma 5 - System Tray disappeared

To stop and start plasmashell now it is required to use:

    alias srun-kde5-stop='kquitapp5 plasmashell'
    alias srun-kde5-start='kstart5 plasmashell'
