Hi,
while seeing if my brand new knowledge about the asynchronous nature of the
QX11EmbedContainer::embedClient() could also help others in KDE I found not
that but still some problems with race conditions in the system tray
plasmoid.
The old code tried the embedClient() in the constructor of
SystemTrayContainer, which could create some signals. But SystemTrayWidget
only connects after constructing the SystemTrayContainer object to it's
signals, so it might miss some theoretically. Or?
So I split the constructor and added an explicit call to embed the systray
client. This did not yield any visual changes as far as I see (broken
somewhere else?), but the logic should be better now.
Okay to commit?
At least remove the hidden code in the constructor of SystemTrayContainer, it
is wrong, as the embedding is asynchronous. :)
