gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
may have been what was missing.
It was in fact the need to set pop-shell
in extensions. Must also add blur-my-shell
to get a white tray that doesn't clash with system icons (temp fix), though service VMs aren't appearing (sys-net, sys-whonix) ... except once, when sys-net appeared then disappeared. Still recommend gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
though with 8gb on my test rig, Gnome isn't ideal.
16G minimum and the sys-net:Nm-applet appears without issue.
For a while, the Qubes developers considered migrating dom0 to GNOME:
This is no longer the case. More discussion on the matter here.
However, I believe that the Gnome experience is perhaps the best inroad for new users to Linux. I do like the cleanliness of the i3 layout and think that is more welcoming and has a neater style, but the learning curve is much greater, though perhaps could be mitigated and at least it is officially (somewhat) supported by Qubes -- will consider after a successful GNOME install.
Steps to take for testing:
sudo qubes-dom0-update gnome-shell gnome-shell-extension-pop-shell
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
Reboot.
