So is it a case of...
If it works with KDE on Manjaro there is no problem?
🤔

I have just found that if i add...
  Me.SkipTaskbar = True
to Form_Show() then it works as expected.

Even though the IDE has the SkipTaskbar = True set and it's also set in
Form_Open() it's failing with qt on MATE if i don't add it to Form_Show().

Is there code like in gb.dbus.trayicon that uses only
org.kde.StatusNotifierItem specific functions?
 that looks to me like it's probably only really guaranteed to work on kde.

Should we now say, for a bug free gambas environment you must use KDE (and
Manjaro)
