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/budgie-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. Because budgie-desktop declares itself as being GNOME-based with XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Budgie:GNOME, it has two options: 1. Delegate its choice of portals to GNOME by accepting whatever GNOME does in gnome-portals.conf, and don't install a budgie-portals.conf 2. Take control over its own choice of portals by providing a /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/budgie-portals.conf If the first option is what the Budgie maintainers want, then this bug can be closed without further action. >From what I've seen elsewhere, in the short term Budgie probably wants to use a mixture of -gtk and -gnome? But in the GNOME 45 cycle, it seems to be switching away from mutter 44/45 to a fork of mutter 43, which might no longer have the APIs that x-d-p-gnome requires? So the second option is probably more appropriate. GNOME's gnome-portals.conf was added in https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-session/-/commit/b201c9c40e3adc7bf0b1c3504bef4c8602aac31d and might make a good basis for designing a budgie-portals.conf: it illustrates how a different fallback order can be selected for each portal interface.
