minimize to tray from task bar stopped working

[atomGit]

preferences -> windows -> minimize select 'minimize to tray' and test - it doesn't work for me (TB minimizes to task bar)

this seems to have started with the last 1 or 2 updates of TB

@Ximi1970 - i don't understand the relevance of your suggestion - you wrote "Please run thunderbird the Wayland way" while #159 states to force TB to use x11

i'm already using x11 so i'm not seeing how #159 is relevant

Sorry missed the x11 in the initial comment.
