Describe the bug When using the libappindicator-gtk3 library for tray icons, the icons don't appear when auto starting solaar with the window=hide flag in Wayland. I have removed the package and installed libayatana-appindicator instead which works, but the question remains as to why it's only seemingly affecting Arch Linux on the distributions tested. It fails to execute the program when logged into a new session in the DE. I note that some distros have deprivcated the libappindicator-gtk3 package in favour of libayatana-appindicator, so perhaps this is the way forward regarding what dependencies are shipped and used in the repos for Solaar?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Install libappindicator-gtk3

  2. Reboot/restart DE and check journalctl -b | grep solaar

  3. Scroll down to arch solaar[986]: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

  4. See error
