--- Comment #34 from Duncan <1i5t5.dun...@cox.net> --- With today's updates (previous update was a week ago) I suddenly had running windows showing up! =:^) Without actual bisecting I believe the problem was resolved by: kwin commit 9c65d61b9 utils/serviceutils: compare executablePath against canonical path of exec fields in .desktops Quoting its comment: | /proc/%/exec always points to the canonical/real path of a binary, | the exec field of a .desktop might contain a symlink and therefore | differ from canonical path. | Explicitely canonicalizing the path in exec prevents this mismatch. As I noted in an earlier comment, I have a "reverse usr-merge" with my /usr being a symlink /usr -> . so all of /usr ends up actually directly under /, but still accessible under /usr via the symlink. The (gentoo/kde overlay live-git) installation, however, is still to /usr, so that's what the paths in the *.desktop files presumably use. This commit adjusts to use the canonical path, so the paths started matching and the X_KDE_Wayland_Interfaces= line in the *.desktop file actually took effect! Regardless of whether that's the fix or not, the bug as I filed it appears to be fixed. However, there's a bunch of others duped to this bug now that were more intermittent and thus may well be different bugs that aren't fixed yet. So pending other reports that those are fixed too I'll leave the bug open for now... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
