Two issues with the sway autostart of signal.service:
1. Electron picks its tray backend from XDG_SESSION_TYPE and
XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP. The sway config only imported DISPLAY,
WAYLAND_DISPLAY, SWAYSOCK and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP into the systemd
user manager, so services launched there got a partial env and
Electron registered no SNI tray icon. Worked when launched from a
terminal (which inherits sway's full env, including the bits set by
pam_systemd). Add the two missing variables to both
systemctl import-environment and dbus-update-activation-environment.
2. With minimize-to-tray on, Electron treats SIGTERM as a window-close
and just hides the window, so 'systemctl --user stop signal' did
nothing visible until the 90s default timeout SIGKILLed. Switch to
ExecStop=flatpak kill org.signal.Signal, which uses flatpak's own
instance manager to actually terminate the sandboxed app, plus a
short TimeoutStopSec as a safety net.

Without this, signal.service races with waybar at session start: if
Signal asks for the SNI watcher before waybar has registered it on
the bus, it launches with no tray icon and --start-in-tray hides the
main window with no way to bring it back. Add Requires/After=waybar
and an ExecStartPre that polls busctl for the watcher (up to 30s).
feat(sway): autostart Signal via user systemd unit2026-05-13T12:43:26Zsommerfeldsommerfeld@sommerfeld.dev2026-05-13T12:43:26Zurn:sha1:370139e565363e2929a3b98dbf43a8bca338114c
Sway does not honour XDG $HOME/.config/autostart/, so the in-app
'start at login' toggle is a no-op. Use a user unit wired into
sway-session.target with --start-in-tray, matching the existing
waybar/swayidle/cliphist/etc. pattern.
