Missing Spotify icon in Gnome's tray #12

Description

I'm new to Fedora so hopefully I've missed something simple. I have not checked or verified if this behaviour exists in the other Fedora spins (KDE, XFCE, etc).

After installing and running spotify-client there's no spotify icon in the left tray:
no-icon
spotify is the missing icon above the terminal icon.

To reproduce

I set up a 100% fresh and clean install of Fedora 33 workstation on a VM. Accepting all defaults, creating a normal user, etc.

Make sure all code is up to date:

sudo dnf -y update
sudo reboot

Install spotify-client:

# per: https://unitedrpms.github.io/#repository
sudo rpm --import https://raw.githubusercontent.com/UnitedRPMs/unitedrpms/master/URPMS-GPG-PUBLICKEY-Fedora
sudo dnf -y install https://github.com/UnitedRPMs/unitedrpms/releases/download/17/unitedrpms-$(rpm -E %fedora)-17.fc$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
sudo dnf -y update
sudo dnf -y install spotify-client

click Activities -> Show Application -> Spotify which causes the xterm window to pop up. xterm does its thing and when it finishes Spotify, the application, loads and you end up with the above image, no icon in the tray.
