KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator icon displays with white background (instead of transparent) on 1.2.0

Description

Previously the tray icon would display with a transparent background, but now a white box surrounds the icon.

Steps to reproduce

• Upgrade to 1.2.0
• Start Riot on a desktop that supports KStatusNotifierItem/AppIndicator (I'm using gnome 3.32 with https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/)
• Ensure the tray icon is enabled and observe white background

The tray icon should render with a transparent background as it did in previous versions

Version information

• Platform: desktop?

For the desktop app:

• OS: Arch Linux with Gnome 3.32 and https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
• Version: 1.2.0

I just restarted my matrix server and the activity seemed to reset the icon background back to transparent. Restarting riot brought the background back to white. How the issue behaves seems similar to element-hq/element-web#9897

I have the same issue since 1.2.0, it's present on 1.2.2 too.

One other thing I've noticed, hovering over the status icon now says "electron" instead of "Riot" for the application name. The menu still shows "Show/Hide Riot" and "Quit" options.

This isn't happening anymore for me. Idk when this got fixed but trying to think back I don't think I've seen this issue for at least 2 years. I think it can be closed @t3chguy.

Great, thanks!
