Yes, it is mentioned also here:
 https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/How_to_use_a_TrayIcon
I wish it worked always without any environment variables. However I
understand David Bannon studied the issue a lot with many Linux distros and
this was the best solution for all distros, new and old.
I guess the problem will go away gradually when the new AppInd stuff
spreads.
