Description

Clicking on the tray icon of flameshot should bring up a new dialog. This is however not happening if run via firejail.

Steps to Reproduce

Run flameshot
Icon will appear in system tray
Click the icon
Another icon appears in system tray
If you click any of the icons (new/old) - nothing happens

Expected behavior

Flameshot dialog should appear.

Actual behavior

New icon/no further action.

Behavior without a profile

LC_ALL=C firejail --noprofile /usr/bin/flameshot shows the same problem.
/usr/bin/flameshot - works

Additional context

This problem definitely is not a deal-breaker but rather a minor annoyance as the icon can still be right-clicked which brings a context menu of the app.

Environment

Arch Linux, x86_64
Firejail from git (03395e10b)

Checklist

The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
[x The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
- I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)

FTR this works fine if you use (K)StatusNotifierItem tray rather than the legacy XEmbed tray.

That is correct, however if I use that then it works slightly differently. Instead of the dialog appearing instantly it opens a context menu
