This allows the applet to be restarted on panel configuration changes
without replacing the daemon, or having races between different applet
instances trying to run the watcher.
Otherwise, this should behave similarly to the existing version.
Should fix https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-panel/issues/284.
The comment that was previously here assumed that `ItemIsMenu` should be
defined for any status item that has a menu, but the FreeDesktop spec
rather defines it as an item that "only supports the context menu", so
we should open the menu instead of trying to call `Activate`.
This change won't affect behavior if `ItemIsMenu` is true, but `Activate`
errors, except by opening the menu without having to wait for that
errror first. It will fix the left click to open menu behavior if any
client defines that method to not error, but does set `ItemIsMenu`.
Fixes issue where `fcitx5` app icon persists after it is no longer
running. It seems it was getting a `NameOwnerChanged` event with the
acquired name after `register_status_notifier_item()`.
It seems status icons, at least some, don't send property change
notifications. So we can't rely on that, and have to disable caching.
And handle the `NewIcon` signal defined in
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/StatusNotifierItem
I'm not sure whether or not there's a *good* reason it works this way,
but regardless I see `nm-applet` and `ibus` update their icons as
they should after these changes.
Comments in `gnome-shell-extension-appindicator` indicate this is
necessary for some clients. Checking the return value doesn't seem to
be.
There are more comments about Dropbox; more may be needed to fix it,
which doesn't seem to behave very properly.
If this has the wrong type, it causes a parse error due to
https://github.com/dbus2/zbus/issues/856.
This fixes the status icon for Slack, and probably other applications.
Not sure how this field is defined in general, but with Slack it is
an `aas`.
`gnome-shell-extension-appindicator` doesn't seem to use the `shortcut`
field either.
This is at least one of the issue behind
https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/issues/165. OBS now shows it's
icon instead of an empty space. But the Mattermost flatpak doesn't show
anything. (Is that Flatpak related, or does it not use
`StatusNotifierItem`?)
Requires https://github.com/pop-os/libcosmic/pull/368. Ideally, it
should have some way to choose from multiple icons in memory of
different sizes.
This is based on the GTK version of the status area applet that was
previously in this repository.
This exposes app indicators found over dbus. As used in applications
like nm-applet and steam.
