Bug ID: 465438
Summary: Request for help to get some handle to a system tray
icon created with libayatana-appindicator
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.0
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Target Milestone: 1.0
This is not a bug report but a request for help. Sorry if this is the wrong way
to go about it.
I'm the project leader of Betterbird (www.betterbird.eu). In our feature
request https://github.com/Betterbird/thunderbird-patches/issues/20 we've
implemented notifications on the systray via
https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator. We've also picked
up their https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/pull/17.
The result looks pretty good in KDE, see here:
https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10415894/212687109-10227dcf-3cbf-44a8-81db-cbaaf3f25a9e.png
(the resolution of the icon was fixed later, now using SVG).
So far so good.
The feature request we have is
https://github.com/Betterbird/thunderbird-patches/issues/111. What we need to
implement this is
https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/issues/4, see
especially here:
https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/issues/4#issuecomment-1383906148
In short, we'd like to connect a listener (receive a callback) when the user
clicks on the icon in the systray. The icon is created in
libayatana-appindicator here
https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/blob/f225dccbd82f48bb1ab10767b9b074e24fedb0f3/src/app-indicator.c#L2032
via `g_dbus_connection_emit_signal(..., "NewIcon", ...)` and it appears that no
handle to it is returned.
Can you help us to get a grip on that icon so we get notified when it's
clicked?
