Programs running under wine that rely on a system tray icon are shown in a separate window instead of the panel

In my case this occurs with Epic Games Store (EOS). Upon starting the program, it also starts a tray application. Under GNOME and KDE, the icon is part of their native panel and is shown next to linux applications that have a system tray application.

In COSMIC, these programs do not appear there and instead a separate window that "emulates" the tray is shown:

The main "issue" is that running multiple programs also opens multiple of those small tray windows. It is super annoying to have them stick around all the time.

KDE has a tool called xembed-sni-proxy that solves this. I've tried to use it on cosmic in the past but from the logs the cosmic notification tray doesn't fully handle all the possible Notifier items.

I wonder what GNOME uses, as it also worked there out of the box IIRC.

Transferring, as this is not really a cosmic-comp issue. We probably need to adjust cosmic-applets to have all the functionality xembed-sni-proxy needs and then include that by default.
