Emit property change signals for the IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered and
RegisteredStatusNotifierItems properties in StatusNotifierWatcher,
so code relying on the PropertiesChanged signal, instead of signals
such as StatusNotifierHostRegistered, can work properly.
A library that is affected by this is the libappindicator-gtk3* library
and it can cause tray icons to be missing after starting swaybar due to
a race condition, as follows:
* An application using libappindicator-gtk3 starts, e.g. nm-applet.
* Some time later, swaybar starts.
* swaybar creates the StatusNotifierWatcher.
* libappindicator-gtk3 observes the new watcher, but it sees that
IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered=false, so it falls back to the
Freedesktop System tray protocol.
* swaybar creates the StatusNotifierHost.
At this point, libappindicator-gtk3 should "un-fallback" back to SNI.
However, since swaybar does not emit the PropertiesChange signal on
IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered, libappindicator-gtk3 doesn't get
notified, and stays in fallback state forever.
* As a result, nm-applet will not show in the swaybar tray.
This race can be made reliable by inserting a 1-second long sleep here:

Configuration
If you already use i3, then copy your i3 config to ~/.config/sway/config and
it'll work out of the box. Otherwise, copy the sample configuration file to
~/.config/sway/config. It is usually located at /etc/sway/config.
Run man 5 sway for information on the configuration.
Running
Run sway from a TTY. Some display managers may work but are not supported by
sway (gdm is known to work fairly well).
