Details

Description:

In order to have the tray icon appear in Plasma 5 libappindicator-gtk3 is required, as seen in [the bugtracker upstream](https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing-gtk/issues/297). Maybe it could be added as an optional dependency?

Additional info:

syncthing 0.14.27-1
syncthing-gtk 1:0.9.2.4-1
libappindicator-gtk3 12.10.0-12

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch syncthing-gtk on Plasma 5 without having libappindicator-gtk3 installed.
This task depends upon

I don't think that adding libappindicator-gtk3 as optional dependency is a good idea. The application should work without this Ubuntu-related library. It's a bug somewhere in the upstream code that needs to be fixed.

It is not a bug upstream, and this is not an Ubuntu specific thing. SNI is a freedesktop/KDE thing that just happened to be adopted first by Ubuntu.

Plasma supports XEmbed tray icons with XEmbed SNI Proxy. [1] If it does not work, then it should be a bug either in syncthing-gtk or in plasma-workspace. libappindicator [2] is an Ubuntu-specific implementation of SNI support (designed for the now dead Unity desktop), so I think we should avoid it.

Plasma natively supports SNI, and Enlightenment *ONLY* supports SNI. An optional dep is a very valid request.
