Actually there are two problems here. 1) The menu
I have taken a look at qjackctl code. It makes some really wrong assumptions about how the system tray icons work. In particular, it doesn't call the tray icon's contextMenu(), but instead intercepts the events and tries to draw a custom menu. This does not work when the system tray is provided by the indicators. With the latest upstream Git (https://github.com/rncbc/qjackctl/commit/2587df346c8bd259) the situation is a bit better and the menu shows, but it is still a gross hack and this approach is not guaranteed to always work. 2) The icon Unfortunately indicator-application doesn't fully implement the StatusNotifier specification. In particular, it supports loading icons only from the icon theme, but not the custom icons via IconPixmap. Qt knows about this and adds a workaround for this but only when XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity. On Xfce this is not the case, so the workaround is not applied. When appmenu-qt5 is used, it always uses that workaround. I think the best fix for it will be implementing proper support for IconPixmap in indicator-application. ** Changed in: qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qtbase-opensource-src in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1546328 Title: Systray option does not work. Status in Ubuntu Studio: New Status in qjackctl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Setting Qjackctl to "Enable system tray icon" does not display Qjackctl's icon and the menu provided by qjackctl from systray is blank. Further setting Qjackctl to "Start minimized to system tray" makes the application unusable. A reboot after Qjackctl to "Enable system tray icon" and "Start minimized to system tray" are set, starting Qjackctl not only doesn't show Qjackctl's icon, but the mouse stops working correctly: The mouse moves ok, but does not have any hover effect or clicks so the menu no longer works and the only way to kill qjackctl is with control-alt-F1 (which does still work). Qjackctl is the main application used for controlling Jackd or jackdbus for those using any of the pro audio software.
