3. Start Element again

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with hardcode-tray using the listed RSVGConvert and size options, then inspect the tray-icon conversion and application-startup paths involved. Confirm the behavior with Element 1.7.23 on the stated Arch Linux and GTK versions; done means the converted icon remains in use after Element restarts.
