system tray icons not showing

Unable to get the system tray icons to show while the system tray widget is running. I've found two links pertaining to these issues however im having trouble adding the fix to my configuration files. I'm also running the community lxqt-runit iso.
 Example:
Someone on our TG group asked about dbus, and I've found that setting the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable from dbus-launch doesn't work reliably, at least for me.
What works is this:
Code: [Select]
% current_session=$(ls -t1 ~/.dbus/session-bus | head -1)
% source $current_session
% notify-send "Test"

It looks like a solution has been found here. Editing Plasma's desktop file to include "dbus-run-session" to the "Exec" line lets system tray icons show as expected, at least for Discord.
