Tray click events on linux not firing

[svefro]

• LeftClick
• RightClick
• DoubleClick

Are not triggered on linux.

I have found out that this is due to a limit in libappindicator used on linux.

Is it possible to switch to another lib or to submit a feature request to the maintainers of libappindicator?
I can not find it.

The situation on Linux is in a weird state, libappindicator is deprecated and the new maintained version is libayatana-appindicator which still doesn't support the click events, there is also KDE/freedesktop StatusNotifierItem specification and there is an implementation of it here https://github.com/iovxw/ksni but I am not sure if it supports that either or if other distros other than KDE support it.

It's always in a weird state on linux :p
Thanks for the informative and quick reply.

I guess that getting this to work on KDE is better than no linux distros.
Anyway i think the issue should remain open until it has been resolved so it is a fully featured tray icon.

Maybe this crate should switch to use https://github.com/iovxw/ksni "under the hood"?
At least if running on KDE.
