Description:

Package `xpra` shows no systray icon on KDE on Wayland. This seems to be specific to arch and derivatives from https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/3789


Additional info:
* package version(s): 4.4.5-1
* config and/or log files etc
logging with `xpra -d tray attach ssh:<host>:<display>` you get

```

```
You do not get this on X11.

* link to upstream bug report, if any: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/issues/3789. Bug is closed there: issue appears to be now specific to arch and derivatives.

Steps to reproduce:

- start xpra with `xpra attach ssh:<host>:<display>` where `<host>` and `<display>` correspond to a running xpra server.

I think this is a matter of the `libayatana-appindicator` dependency that is missing.
