Description

Hi,
after upgrading to Flameshot 13.0.1 (compiled with Qt 6.9.1) on Arch Linux, the tray icon no longer appears when running under AwesomeWM.

In previous versions (Qt5 builds) the icon showed up fine. Now Flameshot still runs and can be triggered from the terminal (flameshot gui works), but there is no tray indicator at all. This makes it harder to use quick actions or see if Flameshot is running in the background.

System info:

• OS: Arch Linux (fully updated)
• WM: AwesomeWM git version
• Flameshot: 13.0.1 (Qt 6.9.1)
• Notification daemon: awesome naughty (works with flameshot now! thx!)
• Systray widget is present and working for other apps (nm-applet, volumeicon, etc.)

Error message:
Running flameshot from cli. The is possible "error" message:

QDBusTrayIcon encountered a D-Bus error: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject", "No such object path '/StatusNotifierWatcher'")

But I don't know if it is relevant for this issue.

What I tried:

• Killing/restarting Flameshot
• Running with env -u QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME flameshot & - cause WM restart...
• Confirmed tray works for other Qt apps

Expected behavior:
Tray icon should appear in AwesomeWM as it did in previous versions.

Actual behavior:
No tray icon, even though Flameshot is running.

Let me know if there’s any debug logging I can provide.

Steps to reproduce

Just start flameshot service.
