It seems that kde-plasma/xembed-sni-proxy is installed separately from kde-plasma/plasma-workspace since plasma 5.14.2. However, that package is not installed by default, the use flag legacy-systray is disabled by default for plasma-meta. I propose to flip this default (i.e., USE="+legacy-systray" in plasma-meta), since many applications, such as net-ftp/filezilla or net-im/signal-desktop-bin (i.e., electron apps) still rely on it to display their tray icon and it is quite intransparent to the user, why the systray icons do not work any longer. At least a post install message should be issued with some explanation.

Thanks, it makes perfect sense.
But this makes no sense legacy-systray? ( dev-libs/libappindicator:3 dev-libs/libappindicator:2 I suppose it would be better to rename USE flag to something else cuz all apps (telegram, skype, slack) display their tray icon with kde-plasma/xembed-sni-proxy installed. So libappindicator dep is is not needed.

Slack is gtk based, when I upgraded to plasma-5.14.2 i loose my tray icons for slack and skype then I installed kde-plasma/xembed-sni-proxy manually and all tray icons reappeared.
Let's try without then. Both dev-libs/libappindicator:2 and :3 dependencies are quite old and predate the invention of xembed-sni-proxy.
