Broken in what environment? What component are you using to display tray
icons? It's working OK in GNOME with gnome-shell-extension-appindicator,
but there are several code paths that a tray icon could potentially
go through (KDE status notifier, Ubuntu appindicators, legacy Xembed,
and probably more).
I am using gnome-shell-extension-appindicator and it didn't use to work here
when I made the bugreport.
However I have since then done a big apt upgrade and that must have changed
something, because when I now tried it again it actually did work. :)
(But the nextcloud icon is broken now. *sigh* )
The dangling symlink should probably still be removed, though.
We are no longer able to ship Valve's proprietary steam_tray_mono.png
in /usr, in order to make steam-installer a pure "installer" package
that can be in contrib. When a user runs /usr/games/steam, the actual
proprietary files get downloaded, and a symbolic link to the icon is
created in ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/steam_tray_mono.png
(but this happens in an unprivileged process with no access to /usr).
As a first attempt at fixing this, I'm going to remove the dangling
symlink, which will hopefully result in the icon being loaded from
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/steam_tray_mono.png. If that
isn't successful, please reopen the bug and provide more details of your
environment: it's possible that for some desktop environments it will need
a symlink in some other location like ~/.icons or ~/.local/share/icons.
Sounds good, thanks!
Ralf
