Hey everyone
I'd like to move forward with fixing 721938 [1] , which means including [2]

Without the patch and sni-qt , open source apps like VLC and owncloud
do not appear in the Plasma 5 systray . Furthermore systray icons for
proprietary apps such ask Skype, Spotify and Dropbox will be broken
too.

So far I haven't seen a good reason not to include the patch ( from
what I've gathered talking to people on IRC )

I'd really rather have this fixed in Debian than have to fork the Qt4
packages and maintain them myself.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Opinions?

Regards
Rohan Garg
