"View at Reddit" link is grayed out of the notifier toolbar in Debian 12 #675

Version of Variety 0.8.10

Describe the bug

When I run Variety, the "View at Reddit" link is grayed out of the Notifiers on toolbar. "Copy to Favorites" also often is grayed out. Especially after first use. The strange part is if I open the "History", I can select both of the options. The "View at reddit" does work and the "Copy to favorites" both work, even if grayed out on the notifier.

Context

This seems to be happening the entire time.

To Reproduce

I suspect this is related to my installation. I have a Debian 12 install with NoMachine. The System is basically remote desktop for me. NoMachine creates a virtual desktop session, which may not be activating something correctly.

  1. Install Debian 12
  2. Install NoMachine
  3. Set machine to multi-user session so NoMachine creates a virtual session sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target and reboot system
  4. Install AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support gnome extension to allow the dropdown icon to show up
  5. NOTE: I also have Dash to Dock, Desktop Icons NG (DING), and Overview Background gnome extensions as well as as Gnome Tweaks running. I'm not sure if any of these are causing any issues.
  6. Install Variety. I'm using the configs from my old system, so this could be something.
  7. Add many Reddit sources
  8. Connect to the NoMachine session and start variety.

Attach Variety's log file

I tried, the bug is not "reproducible" in the logs it seems

Desktop environment and version

GNOME 43.9 Note that this is using x11 and not Wayland. This is due to NoMachine

Additional context

As mentioned above, my session is using x11 and not Wayland. This is due to how NoMachine creates virtual sessions. Also, with the way the sessions are created, the screen does not "lock" anymore.

Happy to answer any other questions.

This is not the highest priority fix. However, it is inconvenient. I loved being able to visit the reddit link easily.
