    QSystemTrayIcon does not appear

    This code

    @ QSTITrayIcon= new QSystemTrayIcon(this);
    QSTITrayIcon->setToolTip(this->windowTitle());
    QSTITrayIcon->setIcon(this->windowIcon());
    QSTITrayIcon->setContextMenu(QMTrayIcon);
    QSTITrayIcon->show();
    @

    works correctly with Qt 4.8.4 but not with Qt5. The TrayIcon does not appear in the task bar but in the top left corner of my desktop (Debian 7 with Kde). Have you got any idea?

      Hi,

      Are you sure windowIcon() returns something valid ?

        I think yes. I have tried to change the icon without a good result.
        Look at the attached screenshot, you will see the icon in the top left corner.

          Have you found the solution? Have you open a bug report?
