Bug#1050929: telegram-desktop: System window decorations disabled on Wayland after 4.9.3
Hi, thanks again for your reply. On Tue, 12 Sep 2023 14:25:21 +0300 Nicholas Guriev wrote: Since version 4.8.3 Telegram Desktop needs Qt6 for complete Wayland integration. Although, our package is build against Qt5 yet. Some plugins that tdesktop relies on were not built against the latest Qt, and migration was postponed. I see, so it has to do with Qt6 after all. I spoke with one of the upstream maintainers and he was suspicious of the Qt5 dependency. You are right but this protocol is an optional part of Wayland. KWin in KDE Plasma implements the protocol, Mutter in GNOME does not. Yes, I am aware. I've been using Kwin/KDE for a full year on Wayland with almost no issues (its implementation of the protocol is great) so I was surprised this became an issue suddenly - but now that you mention Qt6, it all makes sense. Of course, you always can force native Wayland but at your own risk. I will also add a patch restoring the checkbox in all modes. That would be great. I didn't experience any issues with Wayland so far even in its current state so it'd be great if you could restore the checkbox for now until the transition to Qt6 is complete. As this is not really a bug but a side effect of an ongoing transition please feel free to close this report. Thank you for the explanation.

You are right but this protocol is an optional part of Wayland. KWin in KDE Plasma implements the protocol, Mutter in GNOME does not. For now, I will block the native Wayland integration and the coming update will prefer Xwayland because of unresolved glitches. The default window frame looks not as intended, it has no context menu, and it can double while switching the checkbox "Use system window frame" in the Settings. Of course, you always can force native Wayland but at your own risk. I will also add a patch restoring the checkbox in all modes.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure if I understand.

And the setting will reappear because of XWayland. Telegram already used Wayland before this (as do all Qt5/Qt6 apps) and it had the option for system decorations. The icon also worked, for some reason it doesn't work now. The latest official release (4.9.3) also works on Wayland with system decorations, and the 4.8.1 Debian package works as well. Even with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland. It even shows some warnings related to Wayland and xeyes shows me it's not running under XWayland. Please correct me if I'm wrong. In genuine Wayland there is no such thing as system decorations. As far as I understand, there is, there's the xdg-decoration-v1 protocol supported by KWin and Sway which they use to draw system decorations on Wayland windows. Again, please correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers.

Set the QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variable to "xcb" value before running Telegram Desktop. And the setting will reappear because of XWayland. In genuine Wayland there is no such thing as system decorations. $ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb telegram-desktop For some reason, that's not default anymore.
Bug#1050929: telegram-desktop: System window decorations disabled on Wayland after 4.9.3
Package: telegram-desktop
Version: 4.9.3+ds-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I use KDE Plasma under Wayland and I've always used the window system
decorations option in order to make my desktop visually consistent.
But after updating to 4.9.3, this option has suddenly disappeared. I
asked upstream and they said the option was still there but it was most
probably disabled by the package maintainer, so I come here to humbly ask
to re-enable it if possible.
* What led up to the situation?
Updating from 4.8.1 to 4.9.3 under Plasma+Wayland
* What was the outcome of this action?
The "Use system window decorations" option is now disabled
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Being able to use the option, it's been there before the update
Thank you for your time.
