Amule icon tray in wayland

Unlike X11, Wayland doesn’t allow to have a icon tray for some apps, such as amule. To get icon tray also for amule you can follow these steps:

  • install gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1 (or something similar) [maybe not necessary]
  • try to start amule from terminal with : GDK_BACKEND=x11 amule

If this trick works, you could use always it, modifying your .desktop file, with something like:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=amule
Exec=env GDK_BACKEND=x11 amule
Icon=amule
