Following this hint, after a bit of looking I found the X-KDE-Wayland_Interfaces= setting in a number of *.desktop files: In /share (and also in /usr via /usr -> . symlink): /share/kglobalaccel/ org.kde.krunner.desktop /share/kservicetypes5 application.desktop /share/applications org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.host.desktop org.kde.plasmawindowed.desktop org.kde.plasmashell.desktop In /etc: /etc/xdg/autostart/ org.kde.plasmashell.desktop (identical to the one in /share/applications) Comparing the plasmashell *.desktop against those for krunner and browser_integration, they all three have in their X-KDE-Wayland-Interfaces= line: org_kde_plasma_window_management And for the latter two it seems to work, as krunner can see and activate windows based on their titles (presumably the krunner file) and can see and switch tabs in firefox (presumably the browser_integration file). But it doesn't seem to work for plasmashell... Could it be that plasmashell is started by path instead of via the *.desktop file, or otherwise doesn't match it, so doesn't get the benefit of its X_KDE_Wayland_Interfaces= line? Note that I do not run a *DM here, instead starting plasma from the CLI using a script that simply does: dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland Maybe when started by that method, plasmashell is launched via shell path instead of the *.desktop file, despite the /etc/xdg/autostart/ *.desktop file? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
