We want a tray icon that runs the client in the background. I know gnome considers this bad UI, but this enables us to perform tasks like cert renewal in the background (#188)
@gijzelaerr I cannot get your suggestion to hide/show the window when minimized to tray, to work. The window.show() causes a segfault. It appears we do need a GTK application to get this to work.

As "tray icons" (Gtk StatusIcon) have been deprecated and don't show on modern Gnome desktops, notifications should be used instead.
The plan is to show a notification while a connection is active, even when the app window is closed. The app will remain running in the background and notify the user through messages when the session is about to expire (15min before expiry). When the app window is closed while no connection is active, it will exit completely.
StatusNotifier should probably be fine to implement
I had a look at this and everywhere I look I see deprecated APIs. The APIs that are non-deprecated are forks or poorly documented. I think it's not worth it

Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
