What happens when the bug or crash occurs?

The current system tray icon is a 1000px x 1000px image, which is significant overkill. This results in an uncompressed image data array sent via DBUS of ~4MB (1000 x 1000 x ARGB32).

What is the expected behaviour?

Ship a sensible image size - 64px is most common for tray icons, which results in an image data array of 16KB rather than 4MB.

Besides the current unnecessary memory usage and processing overhead, if/when #261 is merged, this is likely to have an even more significant impact, both on the performence of dynamically generating icons and on repeatedly shipping (and scaling/rendering by systrays) such large data chunks through the bus.

How do you recreate this bug or crash?

I have an in-house system tray and was wondering why only Vesktop failed to display an icon - it was overflowing the max default message size for GRPC of 4MB due to the massive icon pixmap data array.

Running dbus-monitor while toggling the systray icon setting will allow capturing the DBUS message if you'd like to see the data array being sent.
