Research direction
Start with the xapp-sn-watcher behavior described here and inspect commit 624992e against the xapps-1.8.7 and xapps-1.8.8 versions. Reproduce by launching Cinnamon, checking ownership of org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher in d-feet, and observing whether the watcher terminates. Done means xapp-sn-watcher remains running and libindicator icons remain visible in the XApp Status Applet.

Description
There appears to be a regression in xapps-1.8.8 where xapp-sn-watcher terminates shortly after Cinnamon is launched. I briefly see my libindicator icons in the XApp Status Applet but they they disappear when xapp-sn-watcher is no longer running.
This is related to the issue I reported here: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/9328
org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher does not appear to be owned by xapp-sn-watcher when I search for it in d-feet.
Reverting to xapps-1.8.7 fixes the issue for me. I suspect this commit https://github.com/linuxmint/xapps/commit/624992e975e5048d95e11cd113b373a846212eb1 might be the source of the issue. Reversing that commit in 1.8.8 fixes the issue for me.
