Description

I'm running QubesOS 3.2 and have Keybase installed/activated in a number of my running AppVMs. However, GUI integration doesn't seem to be working quite as it should. In my tray, I have a number of empty spaces but hovering over them shows "Show Keybase". The number of empty spaces corresponds to the number of running AppVMs that have the Keybase client installed in them. In this case I have 3 running AppVMs:

trayicons

When I click on any them, a small (empty) window flashes on the screen and disappears again. The only way I can get the Keybase UI to actually launch is by opening a terminal in the AppVM I want and typing "run_keybase".

Research direction

The report identifies no file, test, or code entry point. Reproduce the empty tray icons and disappearing window on QubesOS 3.2 with multiple AppVMs, compare them with launching via run_keybase, and consider the issue done when each tray icon opens the correct Keybase UI.
