System tray icons dissapear on Wayland

Help

Hi folks!
I’m currently running Garuda Linux with KDE Plasma 6.1.5 and I found this weird issue that some programs system tray icons only show up on X11 version of Plasma. Here’s an example of Xtreme Dowload Manager and uGet.
X11:

system_tray_x11
system_tray_x11906×882 71.9 KB

As you can see both XDM(xdm-app) and uGet(uget-gtk) appear in System Tray options and in the tray itself. But when I switch to Wayland:
system_tray_wayland
system_tray_wayland1681×1149 106 KB

Both disappear from tray and tray options even though both programs run fine.

(Though XDM crashes when I try to run it again without killing its process beforehand. Maybe it's a clue of what's going on, maybe not, I don't know.)

There might be more programs affected by this, but I’ve only found these two. So is there any way to make those tray icons appear on Wayland, or is it some sort of bug and I should just wait for a patch?

It must be because they are using XWayland, i.e they are X11 applications with a compatibility layer. It can’t offer all the features they have under X11.

Eventually those apps should be able to run Wayland native if they are maintained.

Welp, that’s the problem: they’re not.

You can try an change the gtk theme to anything recent for testing. but i cant say there’s much that can be done.

It’s also at times nice to to look for apps/extentions that arn’t gtk when possible
