SUMMARY
As a user, I'm suggesting tray icons perhaps shouldn't be locked to "Always
visible" as seen in the attached screenshot. Whatever condition causes this, I
pondered it but failed to think of how this could be useful to the user or
possible to easily understand. 100% of the affected icons I never use and I
don't want them to show. If the app that spawned the respective tray icon
thinks that the icon is somehow essential, that's fine but should be ignored
since that doesn't change the reality that I don't actually use the icon. My
apologies if this is an obvious error on my end.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter "Configure System Tray"
2. See that you can't hide or disable some icons
OBSERVED RESULT
can't hide or disable some icons
EXPECTED RESULT
any icon no matter what can be disabled and/or hidden
