Description

The program is working fine, the UI gets loaded seamlessly but there's this annoying background clone of this app that remains until sticky notes process is killed. Kindly resolve this issue. Thanks!

I am on Ubuntu 20.22 JJ, with KDE env.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the background clone on Ubuntu with KDE and observe the processes created when Sticky launches. Trace the launch path and determine why an extra black-background instance remains; done means the normal UI opens without a persistent background clone and the process exits cleanly when the app closes.
