Description

This is problem that has persisted since the first time I installed the app when it came out. I've seen it on multiple linux installs with KDE.

My current install from which I'm reporting: Manjaro KDE

  1. Icon in the tray is ... weird (obviously broken)
  2. Clicking on the icon does nothing
  3. Right click on icon shows select with "show keybase", selecting that opens the "popup" menu, but not over the tray, but in the top right (where Gnome tray would be). It's also ... weird. There is no border.
  4. Clicking on anything in the "popup" closes it and opens keybase in a normal window - this window is functioning as expected (as far as I can tell).

Note: Filesystem seems to be working fine.

Research direction

Reproduce the tray and popup behavior on Manjaro KDE, starting with the desktop GUI's tray integration. Compare the reported icon, click, menu placement, and window-opening behavior with the expected KDE tray behavior; done means the tray icon and popup operate correctly without unexpectedly opening the main window.
