It is intercepted by Remina and asks me if I want to close the active connection.

Hopefully the local WM won't intercept that and close the VNC session :-) You can use xrandr from CLI to size and many other parameters. alexd
Re: Other issues
* Any time I need to reboot, it's delayed by systemd for 90 seconds while it's waiting for some session to complete? In the past I enabled systemd startup for KDE, not sure if it's related. (I used this to enable it https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/plasma-and-the-systemd-startup/) * user level ssh-agent.service isn't kicking in, so I have to every time start it manually with systemctl --user start to be able to use ssh-add. These 2 issues are fixed in plasma-workspace 4:6.1.4-5 that I just uploaded to experimental. We were missing a build-dependency on systemd and it looks like part of the session processes were started with systemd and others not which caused various issues. Confirmed fixed at least for shutdown/reboot. Thanks a lot. -- Eric Valette

You could try kscreen-doctor, I use it to change refresh rates but it can do resolution too. Regards, Geoff
Re: Other issues
F.y.i. This morning Plasma 6.1.5 was available in Experimental: ii plasma-workspace 4:6.1.5-1 amd64 Plasma Workspace for KF6 Op 12-09-2024 om 00:55 schreef Shmerl: Just updated to plasma-workspace 6.1.4-5. That plasma-browser-integration-host crash bug seems to be gone too. So it has a bunch of useful bug fixes, now Plasma 6 finally appears to work without any noticeable issues for me, thank you!
