Issue
Sometimes at random moments some apps icons disappear from tray and I have to restart Cinnamon for the icons to return to tray.

Steps to reproduce
There's no specific order of steps to reproduce, since as I said - it happens randomly. It could happen at launching a program, or it could happen in an hour after launching it.

Expected behaviour
Tray icons should never disappear.

Other information
I've reported this issue to Telegram as well but a friend of mine said I should report this to Cinnamon. In his opinion, if restarting Cinnamon fixes the problem, it's a Cinnamon problem and should be reported here.

Lately this happens mostly with Telegram Desktop icon but I've seen it happen also with Transmission tray icon (when I used to use Transmission). Unfortunately in both cases there were no error logs or syslogs - that's why I haven't reported it earlier. However, the only error I could find was a few minutes ago in telegram's log and judging by its content, it's the only related thing that makes any sense regarding the issue:

[2021.05.03 16:30:01] Native Notification Error: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface “org.freedesktop.Notifications” on object at path /org/freedesktop/Notifications
