I run XFCE4 here, with a large chunk of KDE installed in order to use some KDE/qt applications. I am not familiar with packagekit, so I'm not familiar with its output. I conjecture from this output that you don't have anywhere near as much of KDE/qt installed as I do. My long-shot hypothesis is that synaptic, in spite of being a GTK+ application, uses KDE/qt (or something those pulled in) to access the display. Maybe someone who knows a lot more about X, Wayland, and how all this plays together than I do can comment? -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
