Check if `libappindicator` packages are installed. See: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web/issues/9477

With 1.2.2 the problem was **not fixed** for us (Kubuntu 18.04).

I have the same problem on Void + KDE Plasma desktop environment.
Discord (installed via flatpak), Riot and Skype are some apps affected.

Thank you for that. 

I am on Arch Linux with KDE. I first installed  `libappindicator-gtk3` but that did not resolve the issue. So I reluctantly tried installing `libappindicator-sharp` (which pulls in mono), and that did resolve the issue. But I would prefer not to have to install mono. Is mono really a dependency now?

I'm having this issue on KDE on X11. In Wayland, the indicators work fine. Both Riot and Signal Desktop output a complaint about dbus when starting up on X11, but not on Wayland.

The error is: `Unable to get the session bus: Unknown or unsupported transport “disabled” for address “disabled:”`

I don't know if it's the same root cause as other people in this issue, but maybe it is helpful.

It should also be noted they work fine in Sway, if Sway is run via `dbus-run-session`. So it seems like some kind of issue with starting dbus properly when logging in to KDE for some reason.

As @ProjectMoon suggested in the issue referenced above, i am now using dbus-run-session. The icon of riot-desktop is still missing. i want to note that the icon of telegram-desktop works fine (is that application also electron based?) 
Terminal Output launching riot-desktop:
```
node[7908]: pthread_create: Invalid argument
No update_base_url is defined: auto update is disabled
(electron) The default value of app.allowRendererProcessReuse is deprecated, it is currently "false".  It will change to be "true" in Electron 9.  For more information please check https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/18397
```

Comment:
I am able to reproduce this issue with both Awesome window manager and stalonetray (standalone sys tray). I use `nm-applet` as a control. Starting `nm-applet` makes it appear in these X-based trays, but starting Riot does not make it appear in the tray. However, Riot does appear in Waybar (usually used with Sway) and KDE. Off the top of my head, this sounds like some kind of dependency issue, where a library that is is needed for integration with these trays is not present. Not sure if it would need to be a build-time dependency or runtime only.

It might also be some incompatibility with these trays and newer versions of electron. Hard to say.

Closed issue by notramo on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/11624

Description:
### System

* xuname:  
 `Void 4.19.37_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFFFF`
* package:  
  `riot-desktop` (don't know which version)

### Expected behavior
Riot Desktop, and other Electron apps has system tray support.

### Actual behavior
No system tray icon for Electron apps.
A few months ago it worked (I don't know exactly).
(GTK and QT apps still have working tray icons.)
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Launch any Electron app that should have system tray support.
