I think the problem here is that the SysTray Notification module is using
GtkStatusIcon, which is deprecated and under wayland simply does not work.

Wayland devs seem to save themselves some effort by, rather than supporting
deprecated things, simply ignoring them.

I'll stick with X11, for me it works better than wayland.
