New comment by eli-schwartz on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/20015#issuecomment-597431394 Comment: Just FYI, this is actually https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/65483 and more generally https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/21445#issuecomment-565710027 So it's actually a problem with *all* applications that run on top of electron 8.x, and it's an ecosystem problem, i.e. the only way to get a systray icon is to "don't use desktop setups which stick with archaic XEmbed" (which is annoying since I myself use one of those desktop environments).
