Ross: "we would have to advise users to manually edit their conf file to
set StartMinimised to false." They may not be able to. A not uncommon
use of qjackctl is to have it set to start with session in order to run
jack at that time. So the user upgrades, reboots and finds they can't do
anything... including start an editor to edit qjackctl's config file.
The worst part of this, is that there is not real indication to the user
that qjackctl is the problem. I don't know qt or I might try just
disabling that option: remove that checkbox. Quite honestly, I have a
little piece of code (in python) that I copied and use the same code for
any of my own systray uses. I don't have a clear understanding of how
systray or indicators work. My GUI work has been tk/tcl and fltk.

Title:
  Systray option does not work.

Status in Ubuntu Studio:
  New
Status in qjackctl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Setting Qjackctl to "Enable system tray icon" does not display
  Qjackctl's icon and the menu provided by qjackctl from systray is
  blank. Further setting Qjackctl to "Start minimized to system tray"
  makes the application unusable.

  A reboot after Qjackctl to "Enable system tray icon" and  "Start
  minimized to system tray" are set, starting Qjackctl not only doesn't
  show Qjackctl's icon, but the mouse stops working correctly:

  The mouse moves ok, but does not have any hover effect or clicks so
  the menu no longer works and the only way to kill qjackctl is with
  control-alt-F1 (which does still work).

  Qjackctl is the main application used for controlling Jackd or
  jackdbus for those using any of the pro audio software.
