- Linux/Unix: If you want to run this library as a different user, you will need to launch your application via `sudo su username /bin/sh -c "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS='unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-cLtEoBPmgC' XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP program-name"`, where `unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-cLtEoBPmgC` from `/run/user/{uid}/dbus-session`. You will also want to disable the root check + warnings via `SystemTray.ENABLE_ROOT_CHECK=false;` See [issue](https://github.com/dorkbox/SystemTray/issues/63) for more details.
- Linux/Unix: If you want to create a custom menu for the LAUNCHER icon, you must create a custom `.desktop` shortcut in order to create `Actions`. Credit to [@tresf ](https://github.com/dorkbox/SystemTray/issues/71#issuecomment-378345423) for figuring this out.
For example:
<img width="324" alt="steam launcher screen shot" src="https://git.dorkbox.com/dorkbox/SystemTray/raw/branch/master/misc/steam_screenshot.png">
```ini
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Steam
Comment=Application for managing and playing games on Steam
Exec=/usr/bin/steam %U
Icon=steam
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;FileTransfer;Game;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/steam;
Actions=Store;Community;Library;Servers;Screenshots;News;Settings;BigPicture;Friends;
```
And then the executable path and language translations are as follows:
```ini
[Desktop Action Store]
Name=Store
Name[de]=Shop
Name[es]=Tienda
Name[fr]=Magasin
Name[it]=Negozio
Name[pt]=Loja
Name[ru]=Магазин
Name[zh_CN]=商店
Name[zh_TW]=商店
Exec=steam steam://store
```
