Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/219

No tray icon on start up for KDE apps after the first app with a tray icon. The first app in firejail seams fine.
In the terminal, it complains about kbuildsycoca4
(probably this is the problem)

"kbuildsycoca4(11) parseLayoutNode: The menu spec file contains a Layout or DefaultLayout tag without the mandatory Merge tag inside. Please fix your file."

If you deactivate and reactivate tray icon in the configuration, it reappears however.

This happens even with --noprofile
Some affected KDE apps: Ktorrent, akregator, amarok, kmail, but not kiten( doesn't seam to use kbuildsycoca4).

firejail 0.9.36 , Linux Mint 17.3 KDE 4.14.2

partial workaround for whoever is annoyed by this. In the menu editor, you can chose "place in system tray". This is not the same system tray button as the one of the application it self, but some generic one. For amarok it doesn't work.

well, the issue is almost gone in plasma5
except for amarok.
The other apps work fine.

In Kubuntu 16.04 plasma5
If amarok starts with a system tray, it doesn't display a window or system tray, even asking in sysguard to show the window doesn't work, but it does play music if launched with the "-p" flag
this happens even with no profile.
firejail --noprofile amarok

If started without a system tray, then amarok works fine.

I'm having similar problems with the tray and quasselclient, scudcloud, etc. on Kubuntu 16.04. Haven't had time to troubleshoot this yet. I wonder if it isn't related to dbus though rather than kbuildsycoca4?

Let's keep an eye on it, and after I release the new firejail version in a few days, we'll test again.
