Audio Widget Won't

[P. Gueckel]

Until the recent upgrade of KDE about 3 or so days 
ago, my x86_64 desktop computer had troubles with the 
audio widget: sometimes it showed in the system tray, 
sometimes it didn't. I had to disable and re-enable it 
in the tray settings for it to work (sound seemed to 
work, at least system sound did, but I had no control 
over the volume).

Well, now, since the upgrade, everything's been fine 
on the desktop and the problem has shifted to the i686 
laptop, which, previously, had not displayed the 
problem. I have logged out and back in, rebooted, 
etc., but it persists.
