Problems with Qt implementation of StatusIcons #4027
Description
Describe the bug
Qt's implemenation of StatusIcons has the following issue:
- On Wayland, the popup for the menu does not display on left-click in a MenuStatusIcon.
- On X11, when left-clicking a MenuStatusIcon, the context menu is positioned at the mouse position instead of above the systray like it does when right-clicked.
Steps to reproduce
Run the statusicon example app.
Expected behavior
A status icon is always displayed and above the systray.

Additional context
An outline to fix this is at #3987 (comment); however it was decied against fixing this in #3987 to not scope-creep and/or wait for KStatusNotifierItem support in system-pyside6 to land.
Another blocker is that KStatusNotifierItem's Python bindings are not shipped with Ubuntu, and is not available for people not using system-pyside6, so we'd still have to have an implementation for plain QSystemTrayIcon. How to handle left-click on Wayland is an open issue -- there's no good way for that without using KStatusNotifierItem; my inclination is to either a) do nothing or b) pop up a small window with "Actions" in its menu bar, with the "Actions" hooked up to the menus for that status icon.
