Example script, launching XMonad as the Window Manager
SUMMARY
(Sorry if this is not in the right section, I'm not 100% sure where this bug
falls)
In previous versions of KDE Plasma, setting the KDEWM environment variable to
another Window Manager on your system would force Plasma to spawn that as the
Window Manager in place of Kwin. Since 5.25, no matter what method is used to
set the environment variable.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and set up an alternative Window Manager of choice for use with KDE
Plasma (X11)
2. Set the KDEWM environment variable using a pre-startup script in
~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE Plasma spawns Kwin
EXPECTED RESULT
KDE Plasma spawns the specified Window Manager
