Bug ID: 466325
Summary: No way to enable/disable apps running in the
background
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_flatpak
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: herzensch...@gmail.com
CC: joshiesuha...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When a flatpak app is running in the background (e.g. as a tray icon once the
main window is closed) on Wayland, a notification shows up asking if the user
wants to keep it running in the background or not. You can test this with
Telegram or KSnip, a notification shows up once you press the X close button
and it goes to the tray.
If the user disallows the app from running in the background, they can easily
revert this setting using Flatseal (it's one of the last options at the bottom
of the page), but they cannot with the Flatpak KCM.
This is particularly problematic when combined with a separate but destructive
issue where applications notify they're running in the background when they're
actually not (this is the case with Firefox, for instance), so the notification
appears when the window is still in the foreground. Once the user disallows
Firefox from running in the background, the moment they try to open it, it
closes again, making it impossible to use.
