I'm very far from an expert on dbus... But I tried testing a rebased version of
the original patch against Wine 3.2... Testing with the Valve Steam Client -
since this application is badly affected by this bug.

This led to Steam correctly registering a tray icon with the Plasma 5 Desktop
system tray. Then whenever there is an attempt to interact with that tray icon
- the dbus link is severed. For example the registered tray item disappears
from the qtdbus (dbus introspection) viewer.
In addition the Steam icon disappears from the system tray.

The RHS mouse click context menu might show / work once.
Watching dbus messages shows nothing enlightening either.


This is bug is quite significant in that Valve Steam Client can ONLY minimise
to a system tray (not to a Desktop taskbar / panel). The only way to restore
the Steam Client is to interact with the tray icon. The Valve Steam Client has
NO option available (or even a hidden setting) to disable minimising to the
system tray.

On Plasma 5 (with legacy system tray support) the system tray icon, with
vanilla Wine, does nothing (no context menus, etc.) So Steam cannot be restored
from a minimised state - when not run in a Wine Virtual Desktop. Far from
ideal!
