Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/751

Describe the bug
Sometimes I have duplicate tray elements, when closing 1 of them then that one dissapears. Interacting with the other one makes ironbar panic.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Get duplicate tray elements. Restart ironbar until you hit it via RNG :D
Close the application via the tray item
Try to close the application via the other tray icon
See error

Expected behavior
Ideally no duplicate tray elements appear.
But ironbar should not crash out when it can't succeed at sending a tray item a message or something.

System information:

Distro: Arch
Compositor: Sway 1.10-rc3
Ironbar version: 0.16.1-pre

Configuration
Not applicable

Was just about to link it for you since I vaguely recalled there being one for duplicate icons :)

@JakeStanger Hi I just wanted to let you know that em https://github.com/elkowar/eww/tree/master/crates/notifier_host exists and yoinking some of their MIT code locally produced a working bar for me :3

Here's my patch that I was playing around with if you're curious, it's by no means well tested nor thought through but it might serve as a good starting point :)

Thanks for this. I'm going to try and tackle the tray issues this week if I can face it, so this is really useful.

I've seen you've forked both this & the tray repo in the last few days - is there anything you're picking up yourself? No worries if not, no expectation, just don't want to step on your toes :)

Happy to hear :)

I wasn't planning to pick anything up yet, I just wanted to sync my testing stuff between devices.
