Research direction
Start by reproducing the Mintreport recommendation on Linux Mint 21.3 and inspect how the Xapp Status applet is detected when the reported dbus-send, Python XApp, and package checks produce these results. Done means the recommendation accurately reflects whether the applet is available, and the reported tray-icon behavior has a documented or corrected outcome.

Description
Recently one of my Linux Mint 21.3 host's Mintreport advises to add the Xapp Status applet. Clicking the button to add the applet opens the settings applet window but the Xapp Status applet does not appear there.
Also, some tray icons appear very different from others.
I'm not having any other problems with this system.
Referencing a previous similar report (RudahXimenes to Mintreport) the result of the following requested commands are as follows:
$>dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames | grep org.x
There is no output from this command.
$>python3 -c "import gi; gi.require_version('XApp', '1.0'); from gi.repository import XApp; print(XApp.StatusIcon.any_monitors());"
False
$>dpkg --list | grep libxapp1
ii libxapp1:amd64 2.8.2+virginia amd64 XApp library
$>dpkg --list | grep xapps-common
ii xapps-common 2.8.2+virginia all Common files for XApp desktop apps

I'm not a coder but I can follow instructions if more info is needed.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
