Kinto does not support activation #785

It is me again. Just spotted these error log lines on my syslog on latest Ubuntu (booted into Wayland mode):

Feb  4 13:29:30 M1 appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com[68840]: Kinto, does not support activation: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such method “Activate”

Any clues why?

Kinto is not compatible with Wayland. There is no method yet in Wayland for the keymapper to identify the "class" or "name" of any window, so the only thing that happens in Wayland is the modifier remap. This makes certain shortcuts seem to work, but 90% of the smart functionality of Kinto remapping shortcuts for individual applications will not work unless you log out and change to X11/Xorg.

Oh I see. Then I will have to uninstall it I'm afraid since I want to stay with Wayland. Would be good to print an error dialogue when run on Wayland.
