    I have Fedora 32 installed on my machine and none of sessions return true from QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable(). Neither Wayland nor Xorg.
    Simplest and obvious example:

    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QSystemTrayIcon>
    
    int main(int argc, char ** argv)
    {
        QApplication qapp(argc, argv);
        assert(QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable());
        return 0;
    }
    

    But supportsMessages() returns true in both cases. So is it Wayland (or generally GNOME) problem or I can fix it somehow?

      @Dramcryx I don't see the tray icon even when login with x11 gnome environment. So I believe that is Fedora GNOME issue, since it works on Ubuntu 20.

      By installing and enabling "KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator Support" GNOME extension on Fedora 32, the tray icon come back for my app.
