What happened

On KDE, the tray application only opens on right-click. On most tray applications, left-click opens the main window or popover, with right-click reserved for a context menu. Having to right-click to open the app is unintuitive and inconsistent with standard KDE tray behavior, which makes it a noticeable usability issue.

Expected behavior: Left-click on the tray icon opens the application.
Observed behavior: Left-click does nothing; right-click is required to open the application

Research direction

Reproduce the issue on KDE Wayland using the linux-v0.1.0 Rust rewrite, then locate the tray icon event handling. Verify that left-click opens the application while right-click retains its context-menu behavior; no source file or test is named in the report.
