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.

Both daemons were running but not registering SNI items on niri/Wayland,
leaving the waybar tray slot permanently empty. Network is already
accessible via the waybar network module (left-click → networkmanager_dmenu).
Bluetooth GUI (blueman-manager) is still available on demand; only the
applet is dropped.
Tray module stays configured so Electron apps (Discord/Vesktop, Steam,
etc.) still get a tray slot when they're running.
- niri/config.kdl: drop nm-applet and blueman-applet spawn-at-startup
- packages.txt: drop network-manager-applet (nothing else uses it);
keep blueman package for blueman-manager GUI

Flameshot's portal-based capture path on niri triggers an
xdg-desktop-portal access prompt on every invocation, blocking
the screenshot itself. grim talks to wlr-screencopy directly and
never touches the portal, so no prompt.
Pipeline: slurp (region) → grim (capture) → satty (annotate +
copy + save). satty replaces the wofi action menu by being the
post-capture surface itself.
- scripts/screenshot.sh added
- install.sh symlinks it; flameshot.ini generator removed
- niri Mod+Print → "screenshot"
- packages.txt drops flameshot
- docs tables updated

The progress window for copy/move/delete operations is small and
transient — floating it stops it from taking over a column.

- swww-daemon → awww-daemon (swww is not installed; awww 0.12.0-1 is)
- polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 → absolute path; the binary
lives in /usr/lib/polkit-gnome/ which is not on PATH
Both daemons were silently failing to start at every login.

scripts/waybar-restart.sh: kills waybar, waits for it to exit, then
relaunches detached via setsid. Symlinked into ~/.local/bin and bound
to Mod+Shift+B in niri.

- mako/config: generate from theme/colors.json in install.sh instead of
symlinking a static file — mako is the only tool that can't use CSS
variables, so colors.json is now the single source of truth for it
- gtklock/config.ini: remove hardcoded /home/alex absolute path for style;
gtklock falls back to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtklock/style.css by default
- niri: replace inline grim spawn-sh with `spawn "screenshot"` to use the
existing script (which also copies to clipboard via wl-copy)
- install.sh: add screenshot symlink; mako generation step
- packages.txt: add snixembed (used in niri spawn-at-startup, was missing)
- swaylock/config: delete (replaced by gtklock in previous commit)
- .gitignore: add mako/config (now generated, not tracked)
