App freezes on startup when system tray icon is enabled (KDE Plasma 6 / Wayland) #380

Description

@DiogoJorge1401

When enabling "Show in System Tray" (tray_icon_enabled), the app freezes on next launch — the
window never appears and the process becomes unresponsive. This happens on KDE Plasma 6 with
Wayland.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Pomotroid
  2. Go to Settings > System
  3. Enable "Show in System Tray"
  4. Close and reopen the app
  5. The app hangs — no window, no tray icon, process stuck

Workaround:
Manually set tray_icon_enabled to false in the SQLite database:
sqlite3 ~/.local/share/com.splode.pomotroid/pomotroid.db "UPDATE settings SET value='false' WHERE
key='tray_icon_enabled';"

Environment:

  • Pomotroid 1.4.0 (AUR pomotroid-bin)
  • KDE Plasma 6 / Wayland
  • Arch Linux (CachyOS kernel 6.18)
