Bug#803523: kmix: Should kill competing volume applet
Package: kmix
Version: 4:15.08.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Since I upgraded to KDE5, there is another volume applet in the system tray.
I don't know where it is coming from, it just says "Plasma" when I try
xwininfo.
I don't want to use the other one, because kmix is so much better (for
example, per application volume controls, which I use a lot).
The other audio applet can be *hidden* in the system tray options (under
Extra Items), but still appears to be handling volume-key presses, often
leading to race conditions (e.g. one application thinks the press was
held long enough to change the volume 20%, then the other detects it and
tries to change it 5%, but actually sets it *back* 15%).
Please figure out where the inferior volume control applet is coming
from, and ensure that it dies whenever kmix is available.
Thanks.
