Icon not displayed in LXQt

[papoteur-mga]

I have tried pystray in LXQt in Mageia 7 and Mageia 8. The icon is not displayed, but instead, I get a gear wheel in one case, or an exclamation mark in square box in other case. Tooltip displays the name of the Python program, not the name I have assigned. I don't know from where the problem is (pystray or LXQt). I have tried with env variable PYSTRAY_BACKEND=xorg, I get a place for the icon, but no icon and no action. I have tried with env variable PYSTRAY_BACKEND=gtk I get the icon, I get the menu, with the default action as set ad the commands work fine. But the single left click give an error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/yves/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pystray/_gtk.py", line 63, in _on_status_icon_activate
    self()
  File "/home/yves/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pystray/_base.py", line 88, in __call__
    self._menu(self)
TypeError: 'tuple' object is not callable

Thank you for your report.

As for the error included above, please see the documentation; the meny argument must be an instance of pynput.Menu.

The backends supported on Linux are plain XOrg---with a very limited feature-set!---GTK and AppIndicator. I am not familiar with LXQt, but from the name it appears to be Qt-based; perhaps the GTK->Qt bridge is lacking?

I will close this issue, since I do not think it is an issue with this library, as I have not seen this issue elsewhere. If you have other indications, please reopen.

Hello, Thanks for your reply. Do you mean pystray.Menu? This is what i use. Here the complete code.
