Details

Description:

Since Electron 22, upstream decided to remove GtkStatusIcon based tray, and move to chromium's StatusIconLinuxDbus implementation, which "is sending raw dbus messages" and does not require libappindicator.

I've tested Electron 22.0.3 on KDE Plasma 5.25.6 and the SNI tray icon works fine without libappindicator-gtk3

Additional info:

  • package version(s)
  • electron 22.0.3-1
  • config and/or log files etc.
  • link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
