By the way, it cannot hurt to enable support for libappindicator NOW. This
will, in fact, improve the integration into the current KDE Plasma
Workspaces (which have been supporting the new status notifier protocol for
a long time now) in several ways:
* The icons are a lot less likely to be subject to flicker and other
graphical glitches than with XEmbed.
Err .. this sounds like a bug in how KDE handles them. There is no reason why
they should flicker (they don't in other environments either).
* The icons can be rescaled to a different size. Starting from
kde-workspace
4.11.6, Plasma now supports high-DPI displays by making system tray icons
larger than the legacy 24 pixels on such displays.
Legacy icons are not limited to 24x24 pixels that's a myth. There are
broken apps
out there (hello skype) but they don't have to be broken.
