This orange screencast icon is only shown in Wayland sessions. In x11, any application can listen to input for any application (including passwords) and peek at their rendered content, so it is pointless to show that icon in x11 sessions too, since with no icon shown, applications can still spy on others there.
In any case, it is not g-r-d, that shows that icon, but gnome-shell, when either a remote desktop session or screencast session was created. ** Changed in: gnome-remote-desktop (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-remote-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993926 Title: No icon in tray and integration in menu when someone is connected Status in gnome-remote-desktop package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm running an up to date Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS using X.
