Description

Hi, I've been running Keybase on Ubuntu 18.4 for more than a year, and on this particular notebook for weeks, without issue. Today, I needed to use Keybase, and realized that the system tray icon is no longer loading. I now know that I can invoke Keybase via a `run_keybase` command, so I can still get to the application just fine. But... it seems weird that the system tray icon is no longer displaying, even after I run `run_keybase -a`. Help?
