I tested from a live environment and does the same thing.
That changes things.

I tested qbittorent and YTdownloader appimages from a live system image (20230814 lxqt s6), checked that they will show an icon in system tray but they shows nothing for me unfortunately.
I read that before as "Works on on the live CD".  "Doesn't work on my installed system."

Edit:
All I can say at the moment is I confirm what you are saying.
In a VM artix-lxqt-runit-20230814-x86_64.iso had no systray icon for qbittorrent.
Creating a new user test and logging in with that user showed the same issue.
Then I tried using the weekly iso artix-lxqt-s6-20240330-x86_64.iso but that had multiple issues on the VM so I can't recommend that atm. It may work better on bare metal though.

If I get time later I'll try reinstalling 20230814 and see if I can figure out what the issue is?



i found the problem. The panel element which shows the tray icons is called statusnotifier, not tray. The solution was in front of me and i didn't find it (but i was used to call it tray).

Weird since your config was containing [statusnotifier] without any hint of it being disabled, probably the default ordering is wrong, maybe a bug.
I'm used to turn it manually on after the tray.

But it wasn't into plugins row, needs to be there to be active.
I thought that it was only for the notifications bell, so I didn't gave much attention to it.
