i removed kmix in default install
Comment 6 Maurice Batey 2016-04-05 18:56:01 CEST
Noticed that the duplicate systrays both reflected any changes.

Having installed latest classical 64-bit .iso -->Plasma, I was able to find 'Systray Options' in the systray area, and selected 'Delete this systray'.

Result: Only 1 copy of systray
  What must have happened is that - way back when trying a Cauldron update on Mageia-5 - there was no systray and I manually added one. Along came Mageia-6 and added a clone of the existing systray.

N.B. Still no Dropbox icon in systray (nor in my various Mageia-5 installations, where it used to appear but has vanished in recent weeks, so have to access Dropbox with 'nautilus ~/Dropbox).

I would propose to close this issue then as it was apparently due to your existing configuration.

Please make sure to mention when you make a bug report that you are reusing a $HOME folder that was also used for Mageia 5 or early Mageia 6 versions. The most interesting issues from a bug triaging and Q&A perspective are:
- issues that appear after a clean install in a clean $HOME (i.e. that would likely hit everybody)
- issues that appear after an upgrade from a relatively "normal" Mageia 5 system (not thousands of customizations and user-installed addons).

For the Dropbox icon issue, it might be bug 17592. If not, please make sure that a bug report is open for it.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => WORKSFORME

Point taken! In fact I have previously stated the use of Mageia-5 $HOME (e.g. when trying Cauldron update on Mageia-5), but failed to continue to say that when doing fresh installs.

   Perhaps the minority of current Mageia-5 users?!

Perhaps not. Something mysterious about the appearance of the Dropbox icon in systray: Not only has it disappeared recently from all my Mageia-5 installs, but with Mageia-6-dev1 it did appear at one time, then not.

  Will raise a bug report for that - and also for continual failure of Pan newsreader to start in Mageia-6-dev1.
