indicator = app_indicator_new(id, icon_path,

If I am reading this correctly, tray_manager generates a random string and then uses it as the id with libappindicator/libayatana-appindicator. This is not correct since the id should be unique to the app and consistent across sessions. Otherwise, desktop environments and other apps can't properly interact with the app that is using tray_manager (see downstream issue).
