Getting Vidyo running on Archlinux & Plasma 5

I recently upgraded to Plasma 5.2 based upon this glowing review. While the transition was smooth for the most part (apart from minor KWin issues), Vidyo started to segfault. The Plasma system tray no longer supports older system tray protocols. I'm not aware of the details, but VidyoDesktop would complain about not being able to set a system tray icon and segfault. The fix is to install the sni-qt package from the extra repository.

    You're still on KDE? :) I finally gave up on the resources hog and moved to Openbox where Chromium is finally free to use up all the memory :P

    Use firefox ;)
    I can't leave KDE because kwin is just too bad-ass and I like the plasma system tray that deals with all the bluetooth and hotplugged devices fairly seamlessly. KDE5 btw.
