Hello here,

I just joined the mailing list to explore a recent problem about applications using libappindicator on Bullseye.

I'm the developer of open source trsync application which use a systray icon. I noticed that my program fail to display its systray icon and an error message printed instead :

gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

I noticed various programs are concerned :

• https://github.com/olback/tray-item-rs/issues/23

• https://github.com/tauri-apps/tao/issues/534

These programs are wrote in Rust language and uses libappindicator crate which fail too. I can see Debian 11 replaced libappindicator by libayatana-indicator, cf announcement.

I am not comfortable with "low level" and announcement content. But, I think I understand libayatana-indicator is not a breaking change and should be compatible ? Do you have some information about that here ?

Thanks in advance, I hope to be on the right mailing list :)
