Bug Description

As the title suggests, packages installed as Snaps use a generic "missing icon" ->❌. For example, qBittorrent has its icon missing from the system tray as seen in the attached image.
I've also encountered this bug on Xfce, MATE and Budgie Desktop panels.

This bug related to Snap appears to be universal in all desktop environment panels except GNOME.

@charles-budwell, I can confirm missing tray-icon for qBittorrent. But it is not for all snaps; I have other snaps like Discord, Telegram and they show tray-icon just fine. It seems also related to the theme. I could not see icon for qBittorrent on any of pre-installed themes on my UM 20.04. However, on 'Numix Circle' theme, tray-icon was present.

P.S.: Although I confirm the bug, I think it should not be filed against UM.
