Bug ID: 453600
Summary: qt-apps + wayland: no working global menu (= no menus,
unuseable) - needed dependecies? roadmap?
Product: kded-appmenu
Version: 5.24.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: export
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: gona...@ulm-dsl.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you start a qt-app under kde (running wayland), the apps (konsole, dolphin
etc.) cant access global menu (when using sddm / kwin before, gdm3 / mutter is
slightly diffent). This is independent of the graphics platform used.
The only workaround is to trick the app by using GDK_BACKEND="x11" and / or
QT_QPA_PLATFORM="xcb" (= nonisolated)
1. What are the needed dependencies currently to get 'global menu' working
under wayland with qt-apps (without tricking them back into x11)?
2. What are dependencies when using 'global menu' with wayland while also using
'firejail'? under gdm3 / mutter this sems to be not a problem (because the
mutter-wayland-flavor seems to be not so much 'wayland'-only currently even if
you set variables strict), under sddm / kwin this produces some in part severe
problems)
currently installed: appmenu-registrar, libdbusmenu-qt5-2 (as well as the
gtk-flavour (lib-)appmenu-gtk-x-module, dbusmenu / gir,
libayatana-appindicator-stuff)
3. If this is a bug and currently worked on: what is the roadmap. The current
situation is terrible it brakes systems or produces follow-up-problems when
workarounds are used.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. setup sddm, kde, wayland-compatible graphics
2. setup global menu
3. start a qt-app (with QT_QPA_PLATFORM="wayland", GDK_BACKEND="wayland")
OBSERVED RESULT
no global menu entries show up (tested with intel, amd, nvidia)
EXPECTED RESULT
transfer of global menu entries
