…-x under Wayland It seems like `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0` is required instead of `GDK_BACKEND=x11` in some specific cases (e.g. with Thunderbird 128+ on Sway, see #199 (comment))

Since version 128, Thunderbird uses Wayland by default. To get the
systray-xaddon working properly under Arch on Sway with Thunderbird 128, I had to useenv MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 thunderbird(instead ofenv GDK_BACKEND=x11 thunderbird, see this comment).To be honest, it seems DE/Compositor specific (somehow). For instance,
env GDK_BACKEND=x11 thunderbirdstill works in KDE, but doesn't seem to work anymore in Sway (with Thunderbird 128+ at least, it was working fine with previous version of Thunderbird though).Regardless, I think it doesn't hurt documenting
env MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 thunderbirdin the README in case people face the same issue I got on Sway with Thunderbird 128+.I also removed the
AURmention for the "Alternative install" in the Arch section as it is not about an AUR package but an official Arch package from the [extra] repository.
