Issue: Slack no longer shows tray icon

Background: I user Slack and follow the usual workaround in order to 
install the deb package:
     - download libindicator3-7
     - download libappindicator3-1
     - install slack-desktop

Problem: Started maybe a month or so ago - the tray icon doesn't show 
anymore.  The app installs but no tray icon

Solution: use libayatana-appindicator3-1 instead of libappindicator3-1 
by unpacking the slack deb file.

There's a script on github that does this exactly.
