kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

I have a problem on my new kde 4.1 desktop ... it seems that the system tray has empty icons in it.

The real problem is that I can't have access to the programs of the icons which stops me from managing my network and listening to music ... this is kinda of drag.

I happened after I updated my system. I use the testing repository...

Can anyone help me fix this please?

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

I think this might be a problem with QT-4.4.1. Could you try if the problem still exists if you use QT from [extra]? pacman -S extra/qt

Remove the system tray plasmoid and re add it...  there seems to be some problem or incompatibility with the latest version...

Funny how I removed and reinstalled that system tray many times before posting this ... and now that somebody tells me to do it is works ...

** watching God laughing that me **

Thanks a lot for the quick response!!

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

Such things might happen when using [testing]. But that's no big deal imho. I'll hold it back until there is a solution for this. Funny that this was called a bugfix release ;-)

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

Well, I got the KDE packages from extra and they do not have the problem, as opposed to KDEmod. So keep holding back until the fix is in

Although I was a bit suprised that Arch made the move so suddenly to KDE4, it works quite OK. The major problem is that KDE3 apps can no longer use Kioslaves. I used to use the SMB kioslave in Quanta to manage my websites, and now I have to mount the share manually.

Though I very much like he potential of KDE4, I am not sure if I want to move it to my production systems yet. Time will tell...

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

I have this problem too.  I am using KDEmod.  It didn't do this until I updated today.

Removing and adding the system tray widget only fixes it until the next restart.  Hope it gets fixed soon.

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

Quick fix for KDEmod, install these packages:

i686
qtmod-4.4.0-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz

x86_64
qtmod-4.4.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

Hi
I've try downgrading but it tells me that kdemod-kdelibs requires qtmod>=4.4.1.

What should I do? Thanks.

You'll need to downgrade kdelibs too. The newest is 4.1.0-3, you need 4.1.0-1

edit: needs to downgrade two releases, not one I initially typed

It's been noted upstream so I'd expect a patch to qt-copy sometime soon, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168007

Re: kde 4.1 system tray problem - invisble icons

Yup it's broken, it's not an icon but some sort of broken image...I hope I can post a screenshot...but too late I already restored my DE to xfce4 as of now...I'll download KDE 4.2 soon..:D This happened on the [i686] version.
