Reindl, I bash on a lot of design decision from the KDE and GNOME camps
alike, but this wasn't one of them. Xembed had to go, it was a design
nightmare. As far as who's fault it is.. I really gotta go with the apps on
this one. They had four -years- of warning that the "traditional" xembed
way of sys tray icons was going away eventually. If they couldnt find time
to port over to Status Notifiers / App Indicators by then that that's their
problem / or the project is dead anyway.

strange attitude - if *non-kde* apps have problems with the systray and
did not before KDE5 it's hardly a failure of the application, it's *again*
a incompatible and ignorant regression as it happens every few years so
that i even start asking myself "am i right in my mind to use linux desktop"
"fail for your applications" - WTF - the world of application developers
don't turn around KDE and broken desktops, i heard the same b**** with the
over a year flickering control bar with KDE 4.0 in combination with nvidia
cards - the same - it worked befor KDE3->KDE4, so KDE is the problem and
not the card and it's the job of a developer to handle it if it has worked
before AND NO "it's free" don't justify carelessly while whine every
year
why linux desktops are a niche and how to change that
if developers like linux desktops no longer be a niche the just need to
stop user visible major changes and breaking things which worked and are in
use - that's it, no Fedora.next, just don't break the user expierience once
per year and you will stop lose existing ones and get new ones which no
longer need to fear that their workflow get broken again and again
