As of the Whonix 15 upgrade, I see the following two icons in the tray (shown with context menu expanded):

Screenshot_2019-12-12_01-54-44
Screenshot_2019-12-12_01-55-19

This is sdwdate-gui which is part of Whonix 15.

Since it appears to be capable of managing more than one VM, it would be ideal if we can de-duplicate it so that only a single icon is displayed. In my build I am also noticing issues with the icon being glitchy -- you may be able to make out some visual artifacts in the screenshot above. The more I interact with the widget, the glitchier it gets. This may be an upstream issue, in which case it would be good to track it.

After merging #387 : (and disabling qubes.getDate policy outbound), there is now one widget per-vm (the sd-proxy widget will no longer work on the sys-whonix widget). This helps with consistency.

If we want to de-duplicate is to allow qubes.getDate inbound for one of these VMs and disable the widget.

Upstream Qubes issue for the icon glitchiness: QubesOS/qubes-issues#5704

Icon glitchiness was fixed upstream by Qubes.

It was indeed, though hasn't landed in 4.0 yet; will close if the fix is ported to 4.0.

The glitchiness has been gone for a while and there's a new icon now (the Whonix logo). The duplication is still something we may want to visit, but may be rendered moot with template consolidation (#471).
