Hi Jason,
Gtk (the Gnome framework used by Xpad) has deprecated the GtkStatusIcon a long time ago. For that reason Xpad has moved to another app indicator (systray) library, to my frustration due to losing functionality.
Xpad 5.4 and older uses library GtkStatusIcon (part of the Gtk - deprecated) appindicator - maintained)
Xpad 5.5-5.6 uses library appindicator (libappindicator - unmaintained)
Xpad 5.7 and newer uses library ayatana (libayatana-
The library ayatana- appindicator is a optional dependency for Xpad. Without this library Xpad will work, but without the systray. This might be what the user is experiencing. If the systray is wanted, then the ayatana- appindicator library must installed, preferably as a dependency for the Xpad package.
Could it be that the library ayatana- appindicator is missing on the system tested and that the package has to be updated to this new dependency?
