Research direction

Start by reproducing the first-run setup on Linux Mint in Qemu, then run pkill -cex kgpg; kgpg and observe the system-tray icon. Investigate the xapp and Kgpg interaction involved in the brief icon display. Done means the Kgpg icon remains visible after launching an already-running process.

Bug description

When starting Kgpg, it's systray icon flashes up just very briefly about 0.2 seconds.

Kgpg is unfortunately designed in a way, so it doesn't show it's main window if the kgpg process is already running in background. (except using -k)

I guess this is caused by some KDE/Qt mess :-/
Thanks in advance for looking into this!

Steps to reproduce
  1. boot linuxmint-22.3-cinnamon-64bit.iso in Qemu
  2. run: sudo apt install -y kgpg
  3. run kgpg and follow first-run wizard (no need to create a key)
  4. run: pkill -cex kgpg; kgpg
Expected behavior

Kgpg sysicon stays visible.
