Adding the pkg-bugs mailing list in CC because of the NEEDHELP keyword set by the maintainer.

If someone can test this in cauldron too, it would be interesting to know if the issue can be reproduced. I guess the new xembedsniproxy in Plasma 5.5 might somehow fix that (by handling tray icons quite differently).
Comment 3 You-Cheng Hsieh 2016-01-23 13:22:23 CET
seems worse, now ibus tray icon just won't appear in plasma 5.5. I'll try to build latest ibus 1.5.12 which releasd recently and see if it can be fixed.
Comment 4 You-Cheng Hsieh 2016-01-23 15:02:33 CET
No. I even tried disable-appindicator and see if it will use old legacy tray icon, but still not work. I will submit ibus 1.5.12 with appindicator enabled anyway.
Comment 5 You-Cheng Hsieh 2016-03-12 11:01:11 CET
I'm happy to report that this bug is fixed in plasma-workspace 5.5.95-3mga6. Thanks everyone's hard work!
