Description Roman Gilg 2017-01-20 22:18:19 UTC
Certain third party applications, which can be minimized to the system tray, are not working properly when trying to open their associated windows from the tray icon. Examples:

- Steam: left click not working, need to right click and raise from context menu
- Discord: the same + window is below certain other application windows (e.g. Chrome, Gimp) if these are maximized when doing the right click workaround
- Telegram: normally opens on left click, but sometimes only working after a few clicks (need to investigate further)

[System Tray] SNI fallback to context menu on failing Activate

This patch primarily is aimed at applications using libappindicator.
For example:
* Steam
* Discord
* Deluge
libappindicator doesn't provide functionality for raising an application,
but only a context menu. Since it also doesn't even provide the corresponding
DBus method, we use the resulting error to try to display the context menu
instead, which matches the behaviour on Unity and Gnome.
