--- Comment #30 from Brian Wright <b...@briandwright.com> --- AHA!!!! :-) It appears that I found the culprit - NoMachine! Based on your feedback from my last test results, I started to suspect if NoMachine was causing it. So, I did an apt-get purge --autoremove NoMachine, rebooted, and BINGO!!! Everything worked as it should - the autostarted icons appeared, and the app windows opened. The Kmix and DiscoverNotify icons were also present. Here are the latest test results.

NoMachine appears to wreak havoc with KDE Plasma when you log in via SDDM. To be fair to NoMachine, I may have configured it incorrectly. The NoMachine server was always running in the background, and only by removing it and rebooting the machine, everything was AOK. I suggest installing NoMachine on your system (local or virtual) and set it to run the server at startup, then reboot. You should see the same thing I experienced. It seems that the NoMachine server and client are intertwined, so more testing will have to be done with the NoMachine server not running on startup. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
