Hello. Just compiled Emacs v29.0.50. The EXWM systray is not working
here.

Is any EXWM user have found/write a fix for that issue? Or is it only
on my end?

I’ve never been able to get it working on any version. I implemented
polybar with EXWM workspaces support instead and even that I hardly
use. Chances are there’s an Emacs way to do whatever you’re looking
for without a tray.

Same result here -- it has never worked for me on any version.

This has been reported to the mailing list and there's a workaround:

Already replied on Github. Gona say it here too for Reddit's users. It
works but the tray is now top left corner :/ [Sceenshot](https://user-

Hi. That's what I have in my init file for EXWM. When Emacs launch I
run `M-x exwm-init`. Tray always worked for me. Works now with v29
(Thanks to u/stebalien1) but the tray is top left corner.

    (defun efs/exwm-update-class ()
    (exwm-workspace-rename-buffer exwm-class-name)) ;; required by
exwm add-hook update-class

    (use-package exwm ;; require xelb
    :ensure t
    :init
    (setq exwm-init 't) ;; start exwm init
    :config
    (add-hook 'exwm-update-class-hook #'efs/exwm-update-class) ;; auto
rename buffer with app name
    (require 'exwm-systemtray)
    (setq exwm-systemtray-height '18)
    (exwm-systemtray-enable))
