I had to look up the quote but I think you have that pretty wrong. You're getting the GNOME shell and GTK mixed up. https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3685

I had to look up the quote but I think you have that pretty wrong. You're getting the GNOME shell and GTK mixed up. https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3685 https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3685 The ticket is about GNOME 3 removing support for status icons from the GNOME panel. GTK3 still has the status icon API, although they're deprecated and don't work on Wayland. That shouldn't have any effect on XFCE or any other shell with an old panel that supports the old X11 status icons. I think you can also restore the functionality to GNOME with an extension. Also, if you check further down the issue you'll see this clarification: >There should be no change in behavior for non-GNOME platforms.
