I presume you are referring to "quick launch" buttons?
Yes
- Does .xsession-errors show anything?
No
- Is there a TDE menu option for the same? Does launching from the menu
succeed?
Yes there are TDE menu entries, but it does not start from there. The Signal one is special as it does not show in the tray. This is why I start it with ksystray command.
- "Right-click" on the icon, select "Configure Signal button" or
similar. In the respective popup dialog, look in the Applications tab. Note the command and try to launch the same in a terminal window.
As written in my post, in the terminal it starts and this is what I do not understand.
- Look for a signal.desktop file or something named like that (locate
signal | grep desktop). In that file will be an Exec= key. If there is no such file then likely nothing will appear in the TDE menu either.
Exec=/opt/Signal/signal-desktop %U Exec=/opt/teams-for-linux/teams-for-linux %U
what does %U mean? User?
%U means "a list of URLs." (To see others, open a application entry in the Menu Editor, press Shift+F1, click in the Command field.)

- Check the package contents to see if there are any related *.desktop
files.
/usr/share/applications/signal-desktop.desktop /usr/share/applications/teams-for-linux.desktop
I don't understand why it starts in the console and not from menu or from the panel
