Hello,
I am using shortwave on Xfce4.

Clicking on the "X" in the "titlebar" its main window closes and dissapears
from the taskbar. But the music is still on.

Some of those applications to minimize to systray in such cases. But even this
does not happen.

There is no visual indication on my xfce desktop that this application is still
alive. But I can hear its music.

Regards,
Christian Buhtz

Hi,

I can confirm the same behaviour in sway. This is likely because the
application is using the GNOME background protocol and not checking if
the current desktop is not GNOME. This could be fixed easily by checking
the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP env variable.

Please open an issue upstream about this, at
gitlab.gnome.org/world/shortwave.

best,

werdahias
