Also following the tutorial doesn't work anymore: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Managers_with_Plasma If KDEWM variable cannot be supported, there should be at least a guideline on how to use a custom WM with newer Plasma versions. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

In 439481 the environment variable KDEWM is not set, in this bug report it has been set, and as described by https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Using_Other_Window_Managers_with_Plasma this should result in the specified binary being started instead of Kwin. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
