There are at least up to six icons in order:

1. unit: btc, sat...
2. HD: disabled/enabled.
3. wallet lock.
4. proxy (disabled/enabled ?).
5. network status and number of connections.
6. syncing/synced.

I think there's a way to make a ghostly placeholder appear between the unit (btc, sat...) and the proxy "P".

Expected behavior

A normal stacking of icons.

Actual behavior

Too much spacing between the unit and the proxy "P".

To reproduce

Boot Bitcoin Core Qt without a wallet loaded. Just happens, in my case...

System information

Self-compiled v22.0 tag.

Contemporary Debian GNU/Linux, KDE 5.54.0, Qt 5.11.3, xcb.

I might have some time to bisect this.
