My tray icons were invisible in kdemod 4.1. I hoped that this would be fixed in 4.2. but they still are invisible. When i drag the widget onto desktop they are visible.

I have the same issue in kde4.2 from extra.

i guess this is just because of some configuration problem. have you tried deleting .kde* logout/login?
come to think of it, i think iv'e seen some report about this(i thought it was the problem that the icons in systray look ugly & overlaps eachother sometimes which i think everyone have..) fixed in qt 4.5. You could try to abs down qt 4.5, not recompile any packages and report here how it went (you might want to do that anyhow for speed).
you should also probably update your drivers, atleast with nvidia and ati(i suppose..)

yea i tried deleting the config files. I use intel drivers which are upto date. Will try out the compiling option.

I had the same issue with intel driver. I resolved it by commenting the "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy" line in my xorg.conf.
Hope it helps.

fixed it! you just have to use qt in abs and set _qtcopyver to the newest in ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/. and rebuild. You don't have to set a new qtversion. qt-copy is meant to be the latest qt that works with kde..
It didn't work before the panel crashed and reloaded though. Don't know if a restart or a delete of cache in .kde4 would have done the same.
I spoke too soon and/or i needed to delete .kde4/cache-* .kde/cache-*. the problem was that icons now, although they lookey flawless, didn't upgrade their status either.
So I deleted .kde4/cache-* .kde/cache-* abs down latest qt PKGBUILD, updated _qtcopyver, sat pkgver to 4.5.0 and sat: _pkgfqn=qt-x11-opensource-src-${pkgver}-beta1 and removed "||return 1" from patchline & then compiled & installed. Maybe i have crashes to come but now the tray problem is fixed and everything seems much snappier

Sounds good! Do you know how to fix this issue in KDEMod? I'm pretty sure abs doesn't work with the KDEMod repos... I suppose I could switch over to normal KDE, but I like KDEMod so much!

see here:http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64750. then find the kdemod svn server and "svn co" down their qt PKGBUILD & other files. change it appropriately and then try to build. this is just conjecture though. i have no idea how kdemod does things. if their "qt" build isn't very different you could probably use the one posted in the thread ^.

AFAIK KDEmod now uses the qt from extra instead of qtmod. so doing it as mentioned should just work fine. I'm currently building it.will update you.
I compiled and installed qt but no success even after deleting ~/.kde4. Maybe my panel must also crash.
Now someone give me ideas to crash my panel :D
