--- Comment #33 from Sergio <[email protected]> ---
Let me thank you again for your patience in explaining. I am then missing one
piece. Let me recap, so possibly you can help me in fixing my understanding:

- It is not sleek (or any appimage) using the systray, but is plasma itself.
   - Does that mean that if I grant the permission for, say, sleek, any other
program using the systray in the same way will not trigger a request for
permission, since plasma has that already?
   - If this is a permission for plasma itself and plasma is obviously trusted,
cannot this permission be "assigned" by default at some level (plasma packages
themselves, the distribution packages for plasma, etc.)

- Why cannot I see this permission anymore with `flatpak permissions`? Why
cannot I find it in the App permissions page in the settings?
  - Until a recent past, I was able to see this permission with flatpak
permissions (i.e., in the permissions listed by flatpak there was one that, if
revoked, caused plasma to ask again, now even resetting all permissions with
the dedicated flatpak program, I cannot cause the permission to be re-asked).

- I think that there would be a value in documenting where the permissions are
stored (in a database? In a file in the filesystem?)

I am also trying to better understand what goes on specifically with sleek.
This application, in recent versions, not only triggers this request for
permission, but after having the permission granted it shows 2 copies of its
systray icon.  I strongly suspect that one comes from xembedsniproxy, while the
other one is produced with a different mechanism, because that two icons "look"
differently: one is crisp, the other one seems to be upscaled (furthermore, one
of the two is fully functional, while the other has a menu that is not fully
functional). The sleek author seem to indicate that this issue appeared after
having upgraded the "electron" framework. So is there an electron regression?
Or has electron actually fixed some bug that for misterious reasons let it work
better with plasma? Can KDE try to coordinate with the developers of electron
to ensure that the electron experience on plasma is at the same level as in
other DEs?
