A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Tray Icon stopped working on Ubuntu 24.10 and on every distros that bundles KDE 6.6 more in general.
TrayIcon is added to the traybar but the mouse listener does not work so no way to listen for a click on it making it unusable.
STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just try to create a tray icon and listen for a mouse button on it. Code samples below.
EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Mouse event on the tray icon should trigger the listener but nothing happen.
ACTUAL -
If I click the tray icon, nothing happen.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TrayIconExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a new tray icon
SystemTray tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("path/to/your/icon.png"); // Replace with the path to your image
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu();
MenuItem exitItem = new MenuItem("Exit");
popup.add(exitItem);
TrayIcon trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image, "My Tray Icon", popup);
try {
tray.add(trayIcon);
} catch (AWTException e) {
System.out.println("Error: tray icon not supported");
System.exit(1);
}
// Add a mouse listener
trayIcon.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON1) {
System.out.println("Left button clicked");
} else if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON2) {
System.out.println("Middle button clicked");
} else if (e.getButton() == MouseEvent.BUTTON3) {
System.out.println("Right button clicked");
}
}
});
// Add a listener for the exit event
exitItem.addActionListener(e -> System.exit(0));
// Main loop to keep the application running
while (true) {
try {
Thread.sleep(1000); // Check every second
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
// Handle the interruption
}
}
}
}
