Description
#### Bug Description
The systray icon disappears after locking the screen and unlocking again. Other issues mention that a recent update "broke" the tray icon in a different way (making it disappear entirely or get really small).
#### Keybase Version
keybase version 5.5.1-20200527202541+39ca0071e5
#### System Information
OS: Fedora 32 (Workstation Edition) 64 Bit
DE: GNOME 3.36.3 w/ [gnome-shell-extension-appindicator](https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator)
Windowing System: Wayland
#### Similar Bugs
Seems like it is a problem with Electron 8. Rebasing app with Electron 9 or hacking a fix could work.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Electron tray integration and the linked Electron and Signal Desktop issues for behavior after screen lock and unlock. Reproduce the problem on Fedora 32 with GNOME 3.36, appindicator support, and Wayland. Done means the Keybase tray icon remains available after unlocking.
