lemonade-tray now builds on Linux when GTK3 + AppIndicator3 are present (auto-detected at CMake configure time; use ENABLE_LINUX_TRAY=ON to require them). The GTK-free ayatana-appindicator-glib variant is preferred. The tray connects to an already-running server, or starts one via systemd if a unit is installed, otherwise spawns lemonade-router directly. lemonade-server on Linux remains always headless. setup.sh gains optional tray dependency detection.

ayatana-appindicator-glib exports menus as org.gtk.Menus, but GNOME Shell's AppIndicator extension only speaks com.canonical.dbusmenu. Register an empty GMenu and DbusmenuServer before setting the indicator active to avoid a race on discovery, then populate both on set_menu(). Also fix submenu rendering: use g_menu_item_new_submenu() to avoid the dbusmenu serialiser discarding the submenu link, and skip appending empty sections.
