Description

### Steps to reproduce

When I close Element client it goes down to system tray, or it should. Sometimes it doesn't appear in system tray when closed, sometimes appear. When I put my PC into Sleep and then awake it after some time, Element client is still running on the background but it doesn't appear in system tray.

I had about the same issue on Debian 12 Gnome DE. I tried different things but closing Element into system tray was glitchy for the entire last year.

Element 1.11.65 (latest)
