Research direction
Investigate the system tray icon implementation in Persepolis, likely in the GUI code under persepolis/gui. Check how the tray icon is created and if it hooks into global event filters that could block tooltips on Wayland. Look for any custom tray icon classes or libraries like pystray. Review the issue comments for any additional hints, and consider testing on a non Wayland environment to isolate the problem.
