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/phosh-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. If I'm reading correctly, I think phosh uses XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP="Phosh:GNOME" but needs portals that are not quite the same as GNOME's, because it's using a wlroots-based compositor instead of the mutter-based GNOME Shell? If that's the case, then it should provide a phosh-portals.conf so that individual users aren't required to set this up for themselves. For example, it might look something like this (this is untested and based on guesses, I don't use Phosh myself, so please check this carefully): [preferred] default=gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Secret=gnome-keyring; # Non-GNOME-Shell-specific parts of x-d-p-gnome org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Account=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.AppChooser=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Background=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.DynamicLauncher=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.FileChooser=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Lockdown=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Print=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Settings=gnome;gtk; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Wallpaper=gnome;gtk; # Phosh-specific org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Access=phosh; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.RemoteDesktop=none; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.ScreenCast=wlr; org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Screenshot=wlr; The desktop environment (either phosh or some larger metapackage) should probably also have a Recommends, or at least a Suggests, on whatever portals would be most appropriate for it.
