The same happens here. But when I remove the System Tray and add it again to 
the panel, the icons appear. This is needed every time I log into KDE if I 
want to see them.

Also, I can't reboot and shutdown the computer using the Kickoff menu. When I 
click either 'reboot' or 'shutdown', nothing happens. So I need to logout and 
shutdown my pc from KDM.

Another problem I had was that krunner and the FolderView plasmoid didn't work 
well with the nv driver. For example, if I typed something in krunner, when 
its window expanded, the only thing I could see was its border. The space 
where I should see the actual content becomes totally transparent. The same 
happens to Folder View; I could only see the border of the plasmoid. But 
everything works fine with the NVIDIA proprietary driver. My video card is 
really old, it's a TNT2 Model 64 card. Anyway, I believe that this is an 
upstream bug, like most of the other ones I could see.

I'd like to thank everyone that's working on KDE4 for FreeBSD too. Most of the 
problems and crashes I had using the beta2 are gone. Kontact, Dolphin, Okular 
and many other applications are working greatly.
