Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1817

What happened?

When I choose on the menu "Barrier" -> "Hide" the icon drops it off the dock on Elementary OS 6.1
When I launch Barrier again I end up with multiple pids

$ pidof barriers
3113 2666

Worse off I can't even kill it

$ kill -9 3113 2666
$ pidof barriers
3229 3228

Version

v2.4.0

Git commit hash (if applicable)

No response

If applicable, where did you install Barrier from?

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install barrier

What OSes are you seeing the problem on? (Check all that apply)

Linux

What OS versions are you using?

$ uname -a
Linux SLIelem61 5.15.0-52-generic #58~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 13:09:46 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Relevant log output

of course it can't use as 2 other ones are running



### Any other information

Windows version nicely just tucks Barrier into the icon tray on right Up arrowed running apps

would like to see the running app hide to just sit on the dock, like below, when I hide it
