Bug ID: 453785
Summary: XDG activation does not work when launching app from
overview
Product: kwin
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-overview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an xdg-activation enables single-instance app (e.g. NeoChat)
2. Open it a second time from the overview effect result list
OBSERVED RESULT
The existing window is not brought to the front
EXPECTED RESULT
The existing window is brought to the front
This works fine when launching e.g. from Kickoff
The lauch happens via KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob, which requests an activation
token via KWindowSystem
The problem is that the overview effect runs in the kwin process, which has a
custom KWindowSystem backend which does not have the xdg activation part wired
up. We need to implement that part of the KWindowSystem API in kwin's impl and
have kwin request a token from itself
See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453748 for a similar problem
