This wouldn't scale, given that --profile-dir is another option and that is definitely not a user-friendly name.

How about showing at least the MXID or should this be closed in favour of element-hq/element-web#2320 with which I wouldn't even need to use --profile?

There is an open PR over at https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop/pull/396/files which allows users to change the tray icon per profile by creating/editing a file ${ELEMENT_PROFILE_DIR}/config.json:

{"tray_icon_path": "path_to_trayicon.png"}

Help testing wanted.
