--- Comment #17 from Daniel Kirchner <daniel at ekpyron.org> ---
As I said earlier, I'm using an unmodified stock Debian 10 install of MATE for
my latest tests with their standard display manager and without any additional
modifications as compton. Using compton doesn't make a difference, though.

Adding a startup delay may help on some desktop environments, but it's (1) not
a proper solution, (2) doesn't work reliably and (3) there are desktop
environments as LXQt or Cinnamon for which this won't work at all either.

This really needs a proper fix in CM. As the patch I attached to this issue
demonstrates, this *can* be prevented, even without startup delay, it just
needs someone who knows the claws-mail codebase better than I to properly
integrate that and some appropriate logic around it.

A much easier solution would be to add a command line argument for CM that
makes it unconditionally hide into tray when first starting up - that's what
most other software that can hide as tray icon and that I know does.
