Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Gnome Birdtray does not connect to Thunderbird

[Timu57]

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Linux Desktop Manager: Gnome Birdtray version: 1.9.0+ds Thunderbird version: 102.3.1 (64-Bit) (From apt not Snap) Birdtray origin: apt Qt version: NA

Description

It seems like birdtray does not connect to Thunderbird. I already looked into the closed issues and figured out that the source of the problem is the name schema in the advanced settings. I already tried to get the schema with xprop but that didn't give me a result. Wayland seems to not support that anymore due to security concerns. So I tried out type in the following things but nothing seems to work. "- Mozilla Thunderbird" " - Mozilla Thunderbird" "Mozilla Thunderbird" " Mozilla Thunderbird" "Posteingang - Mozilla Thunderbird" "thunderbird"

Expected behavior

Birdtray starts but has a red X and does not recognize that Thunderbird is running. On startup it opens Thunderbird but that's it.

To Reproduce

1. Fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
2. Install of Birdtray with sudo apt install birdtray

For everyone facing the same problem:

Just do as described in this link to disable Wayland https://askubuntu.com/questions/1273403/unable-to-share-entire-screen

1. Edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf
2. Uncomment #WaylandEnable=false
3. sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
4. ctrl + alt + backspace or just reboot

I disabled Wayland because Discord was unable to share the screen. As a side effect birdtray started working correctly.

PS: I have "- Mozilla Thunderbird" as name schema (without parentheses)
