Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the report on Linux Mint 19.3 with Cinnamon 4.4.6 and the XApp Status Applet present, then trace how Mintreport detects that applet; done means it no longer reports the applet as missing when it is already added, while still identifying a genuinely absent applet.

Description

Mintreport is oddly reporting that XApp Status Applet isn't added to the panel, but in reality it is.

This screenshot shows the applet added and the Mintreport tray icon saying, in Brazillian Portuguese, that XApp Status Applet is not added to the panel

If I click at the icon in tray, Mintreport opens and the tray icon vanish. Until last cinnamon update, yesterday (28/12/2019), mintreport didn't show anything when opened. Today is showing to add XApp Status Applet, but is already added.

I updated my Mint from Linux Mint 19.2 using Update Manager, as recommended, and now I have up-to-date Linux Mint 19.3.

I'm using:
OS: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia x86_64
Kernel: 5.0.0-37-generic
DE: Cinnamon 4.4.6

I don't know how to reproduce this bug, once it happend apparently random, but constantly.

Thank you all in advance!
