This is major regression against kde4.
Kamil gave me link to private branch that implements this (its not 100% perfect, but better than nothing): https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/tree/wip/appindicator
test version in copr: sudo dnf -y copr enable praiskup/hexchat-libappindicator && sudo dnf update -y hexchat
These patches are quite incomplete so they won't be added to the package.
Please specify what needs to be improved for you to classify them as complete.
That branch breaks: - HexChat icon themes - The blink feature for tray notifications (default) - Left clicking to toggle showing the main window - General reduction in performance from repeatedly loading files (previously stored in memory) If I thought that branch was ship-able I would have merged it into master.
These issues are largely the fault of libappindicator, I can't do blinking because it is too slow, I can't send it a pixbuf it has to load the file, I can't change left click behavior it is hard-coded. The theming problem could be fixed.
I agree that it's not perfect yet and it seems your can't do much about it, but having this as "experimental" (and by default disabled) feature in master (and released) would be much better user experience -- because without this in, hexchat is (at least for me) almost unusable (kf5 box).

This isn't a user selectable option, either its built with an appindicator or not. Somebody could go through the mess of making runtime selectable if they wish. Shipping that branch as-is to users now would just be an actual regression for users on every DE (Fedora ships) other than KDE. KDE made the decision that they would break *all* legacy trays on purpose so this certainly is not an Urgent regression for the applications KDE left behind.

After having this fixed in (if I remember) Fedora 23+, KF5 doesn't show gtk tray icons in F26 again. Did anything new happened in the meantime?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '26'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
