Not only is rog-control-center a hot dog, when it appears, the icon for pikman update manager is this wrong thing 80% of the time.

Ferreo

Closing based on existing tray fixes found in current code: startup synchronization of already registered items, retries after failed property reads, and pixmap cache keys that include dimensions and contents. Related desktop regressions passed in a VM. ROG Control Center and Seafile themselves were not installed for this check, so their exact icon behavior was not exhaustively verified. If the issue persists on updated packages, please provide the app/package versions and a fresh reproduction so it can be reopened.
