    Clone System Tray Icons Across Dual Monitors

    I'm sure this is a simple fix, but it manages to allude me. I have two adjacent monitors setup in TwinView. I have configured a panel at the bottom of each monitor to look identical to one another, except for the system tray icons. On the original KDE panel I get the active programs (e.g. Dropbox, Shutter, MediaFire, TeamViewer...etc.), yet on the newly created panel I can't seem to make those entries visible. Below are a series of screenshots from both system tray areas as well as the respective system tray settings. I also have copied the plasma-desktop-appletsrc contents below, but I've been unable to discern if that's even where I need to make the change (I'm just hunting/guessing at this point).

    Can someone assist me in making the active program entries visible on both system trays? Thanks in advance.

    From what I have seen this is not possible and has been this way since you could have two system trays, only plasma widgets show up in multiple system trays not programs that have system tray icons.

    I think this is caused by a technical limitation with the way the old system trays use to work (there was only ever one tray before) though I am not sure about this.

      Thanks james147, I appreciate the prompt breakdown. I suppose I'll just file a suggestion & play the waiting game.
