System tray limits itself to volume control, Klipper, the IM app

On F21, the Mozilla Firetray icons used to load on the system tray.
Now, if Thunderbird tries to minimize to the tray, it disappears
completely. Firefox won't start at all; it keeps crashing. (I've
already filed a bug against it.) I have other applications, including
Skype and Deluge, that used to have system tray icons, but I can't
see them any more. I also have an ancient password manager program
(pwmanager-1.2.4-fc11) that used to load into the system tray and now
I can't see it, though ksysguard assures me it's running.

How do I get the system tray to work as I'm used to? Or if I can't,
what am I supposed to do instead?

It is not supported, but you can use something else as a tray.

I installed wmsystemtray on one of my two systems. I have a crude solution that at least reveals the system tray icons I have left. For that legacy app (pwmanger), I removed all system tray options from the configuration, so I can have access through the Task Manager system. But I'd like a better solution than that.

The thread mentioned something about making KWin rules to have wmsystemtray show up undecorated across all desktops. Actually I now seem to have only one desktop, but maybe that's another thread. More to the point, at least one person started to change those window rules, and couldn't do it.

BTW: Mozilla Firefox still crashes all the time Thunderbird loads. I disabled firetray so I wouldn't have to mess with it in a system tray that no longer existed.

Can anyone recommend a better solution than I have found?
