Pre-Submit Checklist:

What happened: No notification icon if I log in with a simple user and not the admin account.

Should we not create a specific user for portmaster which would not depend from the admin or any other user account be like that we would avoid the problem completely ?

What did you expect to happen?:

How did you reproduce it?:

We currently only support one user at the moment. We are looking into this.

The Portmaster Core Service runs a system service, which always uses the user SYSTEM.

The tray icon is a separate program, executed by the user that logs in. Right now, this creates a PID file globally, which prevents other users from starting it at the same time.
