xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.x introduces a new way to select which portals will be used for which desktop environments, modelled on mimeapps.list: - each desktop environment should provide a file like /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/lxde-portals.conf - the filename is ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf where ${DESKTOP} is the desktop environment's entry in $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (the same as the DesktopNames from /usr/share/{x,wayland-}sessions/*.desktop), folded to lower case - sysadmins and users can override this via files named portals.conf or ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf in various locations like /etc/xdg-desktop-portal and ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal Please see portals.conf(5) or its source code https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/doc/portals-conf.rst for full details. As a backwards-compatibility mechanism, x-d-p will fall back to trying to guess the most appropriate portals from the portals' UseIn= fields, but it will log warnings when it does that, and anyway Debian doesn't currently ship any portal backends that are flagged as suitable for LXDE (https://github.com/lxqt/xdg-desktop-portal-lxqt exists, but I couldn't find an ITP for it). Please add an lxde-portals.conf to tell x-d-p more explicitly what backends LXDE is meant to be using by default. For example, if the intention is to try to use the -lxqt backend, falling back to -gtk if -lxqt isn't installed or doesn't know how to do something, the way to write that would be: [preferred] default=lxqt;gtk; The desktop environment (either openbox-lxde-session or some larger metapackage) should probably also have a Recommends, or at least a Suggests, on whatever portals would be most appropriate for it.
