The firewall applet bug I originally posted about a year ago hasn't received much attention except for the Fedora version being updated. At this point the bug report is a bit messy.
Today I decided to look around a bit and see if I could find some more information. The basic problem is that it doesn't show up on the screen though System Monitor shows the process running and it doesn't cause any Abrt errors. Today I poked around in the logs a bit and found the following:
Jan 9 07:36:56 firewall-applet: QObject::connect: No such signal QPlatformNativeInterface::systemTrayWindowChanged(QScreen*) Jan 9 07:36:56 firewall-applet: QObject::connect: No such signal QPlatformNativeInterface::systemTrayWindowChanged(QScreen*) Jan 9 07:36:54 firewall-applet: "/proc/1989/root" Jan 9 07:36:53 firewall-applet: QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
My question is: Should I close this bug and write a new one with this new information, or just add this to the existing bug. I'm wondering if this bug is reported against the correct Fedora component/package/module.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1791860
The bug is still present in fully updated F33 Workstation.
Have a Great Day!

I don't have an opinion about if a new BZ needs to be opened. I just wanted to note that the applet fails to show up in both Xorg and Wayland sessions.
With Wayland...
[egreshko@f33g ~]$ firewall-applet QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread "/proc/6474/root" QObject::connect: No such signal QPlatformNativeInterface::systemTrayWindowChanged(QScreen*)
With Xorg
[egreshko@f33g ~]$ firewall-applet "/proc/4895/root"
So, it seems to me, the Q* messages may not be relevant.

That's not very many comments and the issue hasn't changed, so there's no reason to open a new one.

Application icons stopped being generally supported in Gnome a few releases ago. Have you tried installing gnome-shell-extension-topicons-plus?

FWIW, it took me 2 minutes to find that does work for Xorg but not for a Wayland session.

Strange, it works for me in Wayland. (not the firewall applet which I've never used, but other ones)

I don't use Gnome all that much.
I'm a bit confused by the wording of your comment. I think you're saying other items which should appear on the upper bar do show in both Xorg and Wayland sessions. But, not the firewall applet. Which you to have tried?
So, maybe
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread "/proc/4050/root" QObject::connect: No such signal QPlatformNativeInterface::systemTrayWindowChanged(QScreen*)
is significant in the Wayland case?

I'm saying that other icons from various other applications do show up, but I haven't tried the firewall applet.
So, maybe
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
This one I've seen elsewhere, I don't think it's relevant to this issue.
"/proc/4050/root"
No idea where that comes from.
QObject::connect: No such signal QPlatformNativeInterface::systemTrayWindowChanged(QScreen*)
is significant in the Wayland case?
That one is possible, since by the name, it's related to the system tray.

I would also note that the applet works in a KDE/Plasma Wayland session and does not output that bit of info when started from the command line.

I will update the existing bug today. in the mean time, here is a little more information I will also add to the bug.
Installing topicons-plus makes no difference.
Also firewall applet has two main functions. One is the icon in the top bar that provides quick access to a menu firewall functions. The other is that it provides notifications in the notification area when a network connection is established or lost. On an inTel machine neither the icon or notifications work. On an AMD machine (A10-7800), though there is no icon on the top bar there are notifications in the notification area when a network connection is established or lost.
Have a Great Day!
