Ok. I am sorry for all this mess. I was sure that using the same name for new application would be more convinient. In contrary, it creates hard to catch bugs.
So, I was able to reproduce last 2 issues after I do the same thing - rename nepomukcontroller to another name. As you can see in
>> nepomukcontroller2(26210) KXMLGUIClient::setXMLFile: cannot find .rc file "systraystrigipluginui.rc" for component "nepomukcontroller2"
plugin failed to load ui. Because of this, it failed to create menu and thus to provide any actions. The ui files location is determineg using apps name. I am not sure what name is used - name of executable or name given to KAboutData.
The issuse with 2 strigi plugins was caused by the same problem. It looks like that ksycoca return 2 plugins for strigi service. One from location ~/kde/share/kde4/services/nepomukcontroller2 and one from ~/kde/share/kde4/services/nepomukcontroller. Because of this, plugin is loaded twice. Or it is possible that only one file actually exists, but ksycoca cached both entries.
Anyway, I renamed application myself. Now it is called nepomuksystray_qt. I hope this name is not in use. After install, you must have no messages like "KXMLGUIClient::setXMLFile: cannot find .rc file ... " and all actions should appear.
If you still will have 2(3,4) entries for strigi service, then check the output please. It now writes things like:
>> Nepomuk::SystrayPluginManager::SystrayPluginManager: Load plugin: <PLUGIN NAME> defined in <PATH TO DESKTOP FILE>
There must exist only one plugin for every service. If you have more then one, then remove extra .desktop files and update ksycoca.
The changes are only in repo, I wouldn'd publish a patch here until I get a conformation from you.
Thanks for your patience and sorry again for this mess.
