not on mageia, so i only can try the top one and it does work - yes. steam also
works for me.

well i tried gnote as that seems to be the fork. tomboy is gone from arch and
ubuntu it seems. at least the packaged versions of these get me nothing at all
in the appindicator. i don't know if they are just missing the feature here or
what 0- i looked for options. i see none to explicitly enable appindicator or
not

don't have that. distro specific?

tomboy-ng seems a bit out there for me to just throw it up and see (the github
has *.pas files - i finally figured out it uses pascal ... well wow. now that's
niche!). it doesn't obviously tell you how to compile or install it in the
readme or where i can immediately find in normal places so... it's going to go
into the "can't run that stuff" bucket for me :)

well systray module has src and it has dbus services that listen for stuff from
apps. putting in printf's to see if they say anything at all to it and what
they say... :)
