AppImage package doesn't show icon in system tray

[theshadowx]

@probonopd When double clicking the package generated, there is no icon shown in the systray, also the there is no entry icon added to applications menu.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 I used the package : https://transfer.sh/OSnK3/notes_0.8.0-git9bb43e0_amd64.AppImage

here is the log https://travis-ci.org/theshadowx/notes/jobs/232218472#L881

linuxdeployqt does not do desktop integration automatically, like installing a desktop file into the menu.

You could either use the optional appimaged daemon to do that (recommended), or use a script like https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit/blob/master/desktopintegration inside the AppImage.

I'm going through some old issues, and I don't think this one is applicable anymore:

there is no icon shown in the systray

Based on my tests on GNOME 43 and KDE 5.26, the tray icon is displayed just fine with our development AppImage build (but also with the 2.0.0 release).

also the there is no entry icon added to applications menu.

The link for the desktopintegration script posted by @probonopd was removed and, in my understanding, the only current solution for desktop integration within AppImages, is based on a daemon that should be installed separately (presumably by the user?):

• https://github.com/probonopd/go-appimage/blob/36408516326f3bfb523a75c2d6161fa2dc11ac5b/src/appimaged/README.md
• https://github.com/TheAssassin/AppImageLauncher#readme

So I think we can close this one, @nuttyartist.
