dupes

Hi folks. I just upgraded from Xubuntu 20.10 to 21.04 and seem to have loads of dupes in my panel icons. Including 2 copies of redshift twice. Is this because I had indicator plugin and the upgrade has added the seemingly identical status tray plugin? Which should I keep, the latter?

Similarly is Notification Plugin and Status Notifier Plugin the same stuff twice?

Thanks!

Edit: OK status notifier is the dupe of status tray. Manually hid items from status notifier, seems to work. But since I'd hidden everything, I figured I could just remove status notifier plugin. Wrong. Causes all dupes to return. Add SNP back, no settings option now, so can't hide things. Will reboot & see if that helps. Edit2: fixed. Except for redshift which is still there twice but I think that's on them. Edit3: it is.

I was able to resolve this by reading this XFCE Forum discussion, where it notes that there is a new item named "Status Tray Plugin", which replaces one or more older plugins. I had both old and new enabled, leading to duplication.

I found the option to remove the old one by right clicking on the panel -> Panel -> Panel Preferences -> Items tab.

This started when upgrading Xubuntu 20.04 to Xubuntu 22.04, so I assume the upgrade neglected to remove the older plugin when adding the newer plugin.
