            Bug ID: 758677
           Summary: GtkStatusIcon: Don't silently fail under Wayland
                    breaking some applications
    Classification: Platform
           Product: gtk+
           Version: 3.18.x
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: Backend: Wayland
          Assignee: gtk-bugs at gtk.org
          Reporter: gnome at genodeftest.de

                CC: rob at robster.org.uk, wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

some applications use(d) to minimize or close to tray. GtkStatusIcon is
deprecated in Gtk 3.14. Using a GtkStatusIcon silently fails if Gtk is running
with a wayland backend. This breaks some applications (e.g. redshift, exaile,
transmission, …).

Can you please add some code to not fail silently?

Gtk3 could e.g. display a warning message that tray icons are not supported. I
know that this is not a good idea, but I don't have something better.
