Bug ID: 452248
Summary: Some autostarted applications do not have their icon
and proper name shown in the Applications table/view
(instead just the .desktop file name is used)
Product: plasma-systemmonitor
Version: 5.24.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: ksysguard-b...@kde.org
Reporter: putr...@gmail.com
CC: ahiems...@heimr.nl, plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On my system I noticed that Kalendar's reminder daemon is shown as
"org.kde.kalendarac" despite `/etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.kalendarac.desktop`
having a proper name and icon. EasyEffects is similarly affected if its
autostart option is enabled within the app, with it showing as
"easyeffects-service", again despite
`~/.config/autostart/easyeffects-service.service` having a proper name and
icon.
I noticed that the key difference between those two and other autostarted apps
on my system that look fine is that those two do not have a corresponding
.desktop file in either `/usr/share/applications` or
`~/.local/share/applications`, so I tried copying the problematic autostart
.desktop files to `~/.local/share/applications` and adding `NoDisplay=true` to
them as a workaround, and restarting System Monitor afterwards made them appear
correctly, with the right name and icon.
I do have systemd startup enabled, not sure if that's relevant or not.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kalendar (which on Arch at least includes the
`/etc/xdg/autostart/org.kde.kalendarac.desktop` file)
2. Reboot
3. Open System Monitor and look at the Applications table
OBSERVED RESULT
"org.kde.kalendarac" is present in the table with no icon.
EXPECTED RESULT
"Kalendar Reminder Client" (or the translated name I guess) should be present
instead, with the Kalendar icon.
