hi, everybody . . .
trying to deal with a problem with what is often called the system tray -- that little section at the right side of kicker that holds small icons that do stuff.
problem is that there used to be a little protonvpn icon there what let me know when the vpn was on and when it wasn't, by a little indicator attached to the icon itself.
at some point it disappeared and i cannot make it come back. i've dealt with proton tech support. sad to say, they're very good at seeming to deliver aupport without actually doing anything other than restate the obvious. so i need to dig it out myself.
i have *no* idea how the system tray thing works. so i do not have the first clue in tracking it down. anybody know what's necessary to get an application to register there and do what it's supposed to do? if I have a sense of that, i can try to work backwards and sort it.
thanks in advance.
