Bug ID: 444226
Summary: Wayland: Some windows don't show up on the taskbar
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Panel
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: rion...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
While X11 Plasma session is terribly buggy and unusable starting from 5.23 I
decided to switch to Wayland which is also not perfect but at least doesn't
have graphical artifacts on the screen and doesn't crash all the Qt apps.
So with Wayland one thing annoys me a lot: Not every application appears on the
task bar. I tried to add another panel and tried to play with all the
checkboxes in settings but those apps just do no appear. Even so their windows
are visible and usable and also available by alt+tab and via "Windows list"
widget. Also with X11 Plasma session I never had this issue (even so I had
others like taskbar is always empty till next restart).
So essentially only the problem seems to in some incompatibility of Wayland
session and the taskbar.
Examples of applications: Qt Creator, gvim
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start Qt Creator
OBSERVED RESULT
Qt Creator works properly but absent on the taskbar
EXPECTED RESULT
All GUI apps are definitely visible on the taskbar
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Wrt my X11 problems, in my MSI GL75 9SDK laptop I have Nvidia video card and
proprietary driver 495.29.05-r1. I also tried 470.74 just to check if X11
Plasma session would become stable but it didn't. It reports "qt.qpa.plugin:
Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found."
for every Qt app but somehow starts plasmashell anyway even being Qt based.
I would be happy to return to X11.
