This has also happened to me on Debian with the latest Element update. The tray icon doesn't appear, although closing the client window does hide it entirely it is still running.

My version was installed via the official apt repository.

@AffSeda Interesting that this issue I'm having is happening for you on Debian, which is a much more common Linux distro.
