Failed to launch on Ubuntu

[FiSHYsolutions]

after updating to whalebird v5.0.4 (snap) the app run's after start in the background. but there is no window anymore. and there is also no tray-icon anymore. after starting whalebird nothing happens in my GUI, but i got a process. using the CLI is mandatory to close the app which is not mom-friendly.

got this after starting whalebird:

bash:~$ ps -ef | grep whalebird

Was 5.0.3 working correctly?

[FiSHYsolutions]

"correctly" is a big word but reverting the snap from v5.0.4 to v5.0.3 brings back the whalebirdwindow and the broken systray icon (with the open issue described in #4225).

[h3poteto]

Ah, I mean can you open the Whalebird window in v5.0.3. Yeah, I got it.

@FiSHYsolutions Can you please try 5.0.5? It is released on the beta channel in snap-store.
