Hello everyone, I made a series of packages for LXQt. The code is at: https://github.com/meiyopeng/guix/tree/lxqt
I did this beacuse I want to run i3 window manager within lxqt session. Currently most things work great except lxqt-panel. I have two problems. 1. The $QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable points to /run/current-system/profile/lib/qt5/plugins. I don't know where it's set. So qtsvg has to be installed into syetem profile, or all the lxqt applications can not properly display icons. Should I add qtsvg to lxqt applications' propagated-inputs? If so, should I add qtbase too, since qtbase also provides lib/qt5/plugins, although lxqt works without qtbase in system profile but I can never be sure. 2. lxqt-panel complains about "Warning: Could not find any platform plugin". (lxqt-runner also prints this message but it works.) I found out this message was printed by kwindowsystem. The related code in kwindowsystem: https://github.com/KDE/kwindowsystem/blob/9f88c9a5d25ff7909c25ce399572ca348b5706b1/src/pluginwrapper.cpp#L79 Qt's document (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#libraryPaths) says "entries of the QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable are always added to libraryPaths". So I install kwindowsystem into system profile, and add /run/current-system/profile/lib/plugins to QT_PLUGIN_PATH. Then this error message disappear. But lxqt-panel still does not work. I still have no idea how to fix lxqt-panel. This does not affect me because I use i3, so lxqt-panel is useless to me. But there may be other people interested in LXQt and I want to help them get this fixed. Can anybody help me? Will anybody help me review the code? I'd appreciate it. -- Meiyo Peng
