Subject: [PATCH] niri: set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=niri:GNOME for tray support

Many tray libraries (Electron's, Qt's StatusNotifier) gate icon
creation on a recognised XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP value. Bare "niri"
makes them silently skip tray creation. Adding ":GNOME" as a
fallback identifier keeps niri primary while letting apps create
their tray icons.

Vesktop and Telegram are confirmed to want tray icons but were
not creating them; this fix unblocks both.
