SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE Connect on macOS Sequoia (via KDE website).
2. Start KDE Connect Indicator (`kdeconnect-indicator`).
3. The KDE Connect icon appears in the macOS menu bar.
4. Click on "Configure" from the menu.
5. The icon disappears, and KDE Connect stops running.
OBSERVED RESULT
- The KDE Connect menu bar icon disappears immediately.
- Running `kdeconnectd` from the terminal results in:
...
error activating kdeconnectd:

org.kde.kdeconnect was not provided by any .service files")
kdeconnect.interfaces: dbus interface not valid
QSystemTrayIcon::setVisible: No Icon set
```
- UDP packet errors appear in the logs:
```
QAbstractSocket::DatagramTooLargeError
Identity packet to QHostAddress("255.255.255.255") got rejected because it
was too large. Retrying without including the capabilities
```
EXPECTED RESULT
Clicking "Configure" should open the KDE Connect settings without crashing or
removing the menu bar icon.
