multiple tray icons (one works, one is 'dead')

[EricR-WB]

Describe the bug
After upgrading to version 2.4.3 (from 2.3.9),
when i launch "gpclient launch-gui" (and authenticate) it pops up TWO tray icons instead of one.
One has no menu and no updates, the other works like normal, with menu and status changes.

Expected behavior
Used to just be the one

Logs
gpclient.log

Environment:

• OS: Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64
• Desktop Environment: MATE 1.26.0
• it is remote RDP

Additional context
I also just ran alot of other updates for the whole system. I originally installed globalprotect-openconnect using the repository, im not sure of an easy way to downgrade back to what i had before and see if it is this app, or something else that may have effected the tray behavior.

Everything else actually seems to be working fine, its just a visual oddity.

they BOTH close together when i close the app too

@EricR-WB Thanks for the reporting! Yes, that's a genuine issue. I have experienced it, too. But I haven't found the solution yet. It might related to the Tauri 2.0 upgrade.

I have the same behavior, two icons on Garuda Linux rolling

I encountered this problem occasionally but haven't found the reproducible path yet.

Same. Quite annoying.

@rawler, I'm trying to reproduce this issue. What's your OS and desktop environment? Do you find any pattern when the problem occurs?

[mufasa71]

Same for me. I use X11 and i3 wm. OS archlinux.

Ubuntu 24.04, Gnome (Wayland). Haven't seen any pattern yet. It only occur every now and then. At first I thought I had failed to uninstall old version somehow, but it seems there is only one process controll both the functional and defunct icon.

This issue can be reproduced on Gnome + Wayland on Ubuntu 24.04

1. Open the client, there is one tray icon
2. Lock the screen, then unlock it.
3. There will be two tray icons.

This root cause has been identified. I set the GDK_BACKEND=x11 environment for my client to workaround the issue: tauri-apps/tao#929. But this will cause the duplicated tray icon.

I will find a solution fix it soon.

Interesting line

Hi @mufasa71, sorry for the late response, and thanks for the logs. There is an entry indicating that the tray icon has failed to load:

[2025-02-10T10:52:13Z WARN  gpgui::tray] Failed to load default icon: Failed to load icon

This could be the reason that caused the tray icon to be dead. I will try to investigate it.
