            Bug ID: 491826
           Summary: Configuring System Tray to "Always show all entries"
                    will make it show irrelevant entries
    Classification: Plasma
           Product: plasmashell

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #486103 +++
SUMMARY
Configuring System Tray to "Always show all entries" will make it show
irrelevant entries. This was not the behavior on Plasma 5

This may sound intentional, however the GUI shows that only Application Status
entries are affected - they are automatically locked and switched to "Always
shown", while Hardware Control and System Services entries stay unaffected. If
it is truly intentional, then that means that there is now a usecase that is
not accounted for (but one that was accounted in Plasma 5) - there's no way to
hide irrelevant entries from the System Tray and also have that tray not hide
any entries under a dropdown menu

In my case, I now have the Virtual Keyboard entry visible even though it's
disabled, the Camera Indicator entry even though I don't have a camera, and the
Power Management entry even though I'm on desktop without any batteries. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Put the System Tray widget on a panel
2. See that it doesn't show irrelevant entries
3. Turn on "Always show all entries"
4. Observe the result

OBSERVED RESULT
Irrelevant entries are shown

EXPECTED RESULT
Irrelevant entries are not shown
