Description

There are a number of GUI bugs, the cli works fine.

The icon is white on a white background. Clicking it does nothing. Right click shows option "show keybase" which sometimes works, sometimes not, and when it does it throws the window in a random corner.

This is all on a fresh (but not totaly clean anymore) install.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported GUI behavior on Kubuntu 16.04, checking the white icon, the unresponsive click, and the inconsistent “show keybase” context-menu action. Compare this with the working CLI behavior and confirm whether the window-placement problem is reproducible; the issue is done when the reported GUI actions work consistently.
