The linux sys tray icon work is incomplete and not too useful atm. See comments in bug 1918035 and other dependencies of bug 1942125.
We should disable it until it works properly, and does something more than "quit".

We could leave it on for nightly but OTOH once it gains functionality we take that step then.
