Fedora 38;
Gnome:
** Bird-tray 1.9.0 compiled at Aug 7 2022 07:50:12 using Qt 5.15.5**:
Thunderbird 102.10.0:
Installed from flatpak;

Description
I installed bridtray from flatpak and in advance setting changed command to launch thubderbird from flatpak version to dnf version.
At startup it's showing file/directory not found at /usr/bin/thunderbird.
I tried to give access to file system but it also didn't work.

Expected behavior
It should be able to launch thunderbird (which is downloaded from dnf manager) when I asked to do it from try using show/hide option.

To Reproduce

  1. open settings
  2. go to advance section
  3. From there change ThunderBird command line option from "/usr/bin/flatpak-spawn --host flatpak run org.mozilla.Thunderbird" to "/usr/bin/thunderbird"
  4. add birdtray to startup application
  5. logout and login

Screenshots

Additional context
Also note that Birdtray is installed from flatpak while thunderbird is using dnf.
Also i tried to use copr of birdtray by following this issue.
But it is not even starting showing core dump error if I start it using terminal.

Same on a fresh install of Debian 12 / KDE Plasma
Thunderbird 102.12.0 installed from debian repositories
Birdtray from flathub

Error starting Thunderbird as '/usr/bin/thunderbird':

execvp: No such file or directory

As a workaround I'll use a simple shell script for starting Thunderbird:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/thunderbird & (sleep 5 && flatpak run com.ulduzsoft.Birdtray )

(Pretty noob at scripting but that seems to do the job)
