Extension icons not visible when running under WSL2 (Windows 10)

[jguillaumes]

Describe the bug

The extension icons are not visible when running Visual Studio Code in "remote WSL" mode using a WSL instance set up to version 2 (WSL2). If the same WSL instance is converted to WSL1 the icons are shown normally.

To Reproduce

1. Be sure you've got a working version of Code in Windows, with a working ZOWE Explorer extension set up.
2. Enable WSL version 2 and configure a linux distribution to run in that mode (Ubuntu works fine)
3. Start a WSL shell and invoke code from within it using code . to trigger the installation of the Remote WSL extension.
4. Install the ZOWE Explorer plugin into the remote Code instance.
5. The Zowe extension will be available and work, but you'll have to "blind click" the non-visible icon in the task bar.

We're going to look into this as a squad once we determine what we need to set up on our end. Thanks!

Hi, can you please confirm if this is still happening with our latest release v1.18.1? Thanks!
