 # PKGBUILD for pomodorino
 
 # Maintainer: Göktuğ Kayaalp <self at gkayaalp dot com>
+
+# _NOTE FOR GNOME 3 / 40_: by default, Gnome does not support
+# AppIndicators, i.e. system tray icons.  Because Pomodorino's main
+# interface currently is an AyatanaAppIndicator and it's associated
+# menu.
+#
+# In order to mitigate this, you can install the optional dependency
+# `gnome-shell-extension-appindicator`, run the following command
+#
+#     $ gnome-extensions enable appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com
+#
+# and finally log out and log back in to get Gnome to display the
+# indicators.
