[·solved] kf 5.25.0 qt 5.6.1 systray missing in action!

[hendrikL]

After upgrading to kf 5.25.0 qt 5.6.1 the systray is not shown.
Unlocking the widgets bring it back to the panel after logout and login again.

Falls nach dem dist-upgrade auf kf 5.25 qt 5.61 der systray im panel verschwunden ist, bitte Miniprogramme entsperren, einmal abmelden und wieder anmelden, dann sollte™ der/das systray zu sehen sein.

EDIT: I mark this as solved, because the issue seems to be gone.

it seems the systray has to stay unlocked.

After I regained the systray, I relocked it. But after another reboot, it vanished again 

kde alway keeps me busy

No need to logout/login/reboot

1) Unlock widgets

2) right click on panel

3) system tray settings

4) under extra items, uncheck everything, hit apply

5) recheck what you want, hit apply

6) lock widgets

Mehhh!  @piper I've cycled through about four attempts to follow your procedure, but no dice.

I don't know whether it's relevant, but in systemsettings > input devices > keyboard I have the US and DE layouts set, and the applicable icon automatically parks itself in the system tray.

First, I followed your procedure exactly as you wrote, but after reboot I had only a system tray with the layout icon -- the volume, device notifier, and notifications had disappeared.  So with widgets unlocked, I fixed it as per your procedure, locked the widgets, and shut down and restarted X.  When it came back up, the other icons were stripped out, leaving only the keyboard layout indicator.  So I tried another tack -- I unlocked widgets, and deleted the system tray entirely, locked widgets, and then shut down X and restarted X.  The desktop and panel came up correctly and with no system tray, as expected.  I unlocked widgets, added a system tray, which immediately showed the layout icon. Then in system tray settings > extras, I added the device notifier, volume control, and notifications.  I locked widgets, shut down X, and restarted X.  It came up with a system tray that was blank except for the layout icon.  The other thing is, even though I did not check them before restarting X, it added the updates notifier and network connection indicator and I had to uncheck them (again).  So I'm saying there's a bug in there somewhere.

dibl, damn, my fourth reboot and lost everything again

I really thought that after 3 reboots and the tray stayed, that I might have something   wrong again 

buggy little bugger, well, at least don't have to login/out/reboot to fix
