Hi, I would need some feedback regarding the following kioexec issue:
I build the latest KF5 from scratch using kdesrcbuild according to [1]. Then I open ksnapshot and use the SendTo menu to start gwenview for example or kolourpaint. I can see the application launch feedback cursor but the application does not actually start. So, since starting an application seems to be a very basic functionality, I wonder if this is just on my system or if anybody else has this issue, too. If there are any changes to the current build&runtime setup or things which are not documented yet, I would like to update the Frameworks/Building wiki article [1].
