net-im/slack-bin-3.0.2 is missing appindicator support, which means no "tray" icon on appindicator supporting DE's. There's already an "appindicator" USE flag used by other applications, we can use that to depend on the required dev-libs/libappindicator:2? Only question/issue I have is that for GNOME with gnome-shell-extension-appindicator it still won't work after this change because Electron checks XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and doesn't use appindicator support on GNOME. See https://github.com/Ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/74 I've fixed that locally for now by patching /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop so the Exec line reads "Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /usr/bin/slack --disable-gpu %U". Any idea how we could properly address this?
Apparently the global USE flag for appindicator is called "ayatana" :? So that should probably be used instead of "appindicator" as I wrote before.
Simon, could you test ebuild for slack 3.0.5 from https://github.com/SpiderX/portage-overlay/tree/master/net-im/slack-bin ? Does it resolve this problem?
@Vladimir AFAIK it should depend on libappindicator:2 and not libappindicator:3 since it's a gtk2 app. I've emerged libappindicator:2 manually and that makes it work. Have you tested libappindicator:3 works (without having libappindicator:2 installed)?
> since it's a gtk2 app. It sounds reasonable. I changed commit. Thanks.
