No tray icon on Sway (Wayland)

[Hubro]

The application works, but no tray icon is displayed. Log output:

(blueberry.py:278800): com.linuxmint.blueberry-WARNING **: 20:41:23.821: DE could not be detected!

(blueberry-tray.py:279597): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:41:30.044: Creating a portal monitor failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

I think it might be related to this issue, although I don't have enough knowledge to be sure about it,
swaywm/sway#1357

An indicator like nm-applet would be helpful

I believe this is the main issue:

(blueberry-tray.py:279597): Gtk-WARNING **: 20:41:30.044: Creating a portal monitor failed: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.Inhibit” on object at path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop

SwayWM will not be implementing this interface, see here:

swaywm/swayidle#46

So I think this needs to be made optional as part of blueberry.

There's probably no tray icon because blueberry doesn't support the type of status icon that's probably supported in sway (probably StatusNotifier).

FYI I fixed this in #120 though i don''t expect that patch to ever get merged as mint uses xapp heavily
