If you copied configs its possible that you previously had the module
disabled and its now enabled hence seeing it again.

Yes a large number of bugs were fixed here resiliently

nm-applet works if it is built with support for appindicator, I have
been using it with systray on enlightenment for years "meson build
-Dwith-appindicator=yes" If you have that working you shouldn't need
wicd, for bluetooth i'd try e's inbuilt module I know others use it fine.
Currently I have systray icons working for Barrier (Synergy
Replacement), Discord, Microsoft Teams, Rocket Chat, Variety and
nm-applet. I also have hexchat but only because I just added support and
didn't upstream it yet. I know Pigeon and Steam also work as do most KDE
apps that would logically have a tray icon.
