Screenshot of panel after bug appeared.

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

Removing the system tray and re-adding it to the panel makes it take up
a lot more space.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Delete system tray from panel
2. Add system tray to panel

Actual Results:  
System tray taking over twice the size it needs.

Expected Results:  
System tray taking up its normal size.

Screenshot in attachment.

System is Kubuntu 11.10 with the KDE 4.8 PPA.

I can confirm this bug on Kubuntu 11.10 with the KDE 4.8 PPA. It seems
to be also triggered when (for some reasons) plasma recovers from a
crash, the system tray widgets gets twice the size from the way it was
before the crash

I have this issue with KDE 4.7.2.

Nasty workaround to remove these ghost entries from the system tray:
Restarting the kded4 daemon -> killall kded4 && sleep 2 && kded4 &0

I can confirm this (KUbuntu 12.10, KDE 4.9.2). The systemtray gets
flooded with statusnotifieritems.

Workaround: System Tray Settings -> Entries and set them to "hidden".

Hi, also have the bug, because each 3-5 days I must restart plasma-desktop that consumes too much misc pixmaps.
The workaround is fine, but very annoying when you have dozens of icons nto deactivate ...

Is there a "shell" way to put icons from auto to hidden ?

And last, is there a way to define the default show policy for systray
icons ? (using a regexp, or not) maybe a global policy ?

Thanks in advance.

PS: bug since Kubuntu 12.04

Don't do it manually. When the KDE4 daemon is restarted, the ghost
entries disappear. The best workaround to create a script with the
following content:

killall kded4 && sleep 2 && kded4 &0

And add a global shortcut (e.g Windows key+F3) in KDE to launch this
script.

No, it is meant to end with &0
