Linux/Indicator Applet Complete: signal desktop tray icon is incorrect when first launched

[yhilgjff]

Using a supported version?

• [X] I have searched searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
• [X] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Overall summary

On Ubuntu 24.04, when launching the Signal app with option Minimize to system tray checked, the icon first displayed is not the Signal one. In my case, it displays the TutaMail icon. Only when clicking it and selecting show will it then display the familiar blue icon.

Steps to reproduce

1. Ubuntu 24.04, install Signal per stated;
2. Make sure you have Indicator Applet Complete installed;
3. Perhaps also install the Tuta client located @ https://tuta.com/blog/desktop-clients;
4. With Tuta client on, open Signal;
5. You should see what is displayed on the screenshot below:

Expected result

Signal to use its default icon

Actual result

Showing a duplicate of a non-signal software

This is likely an issue with either Electron or this Indicator Applet Complete tool you mentioned.

@yhilgjff What happens if you try another more mainstream tray icon provider? Have you looked at the issues for Indicator Applet Complete, perhaps it's a known issue there?

I think it totally makes sense. Will take it from there. Thanks a bunch for your fast reply!
