Hi,

I think adding a system tray with certain quick actions (configurable) would be immensely useful!
This would ideally require Butler to run in the background.

Since Butler primarily targets GNOME, I would probably not implement it as a "system tray," but it should use the FreeDesktop "background" portal to be able to run in the background and communicate relevant status.

That API will eventually handle dynamic actions, but some may be able to be implemented as static actions for most desktops using the FreeDesktop Desktop Entry Additional Actions specification.
