Comment 0 for bug 1712866

In the Ubuntu Xorg session, with the Ubuntu Appindicator extension enabled, the tray icons for QT apps (in my case, both owncloud-client from the Ubuntu repos and enpass, from their own repo) show up after first logging in. But once the screen has been left idle long enough to be put to sleep, and is then woken up (I don't actually have screen *lock* enabled, but it still goes comes back to the clock screen and a further gesture is needed to scroll that up to get the desktop), then the icons for those QT apps are gone. Non-QT apps (eg: in my case hexchat, from the ubuntu repos) remain.

For a while and due to inattention it seemed more random than that, but I'm fairly sure now it's just the display sleep/wake thing that kills it.

The applications are still running in the background (so for instance enpass is still available via the browser extension), and can be seen in the process list. It's just the icons that have disappeared. If I then kill those apps (from the commandline with 'kill [pid]' because there's no other interface to do it from) and relaunch them, they reappear back in the appindicator area.
