Public bug reported:

Alt-F4 Desktop KWin script not functioning in Kubuntu 25.10

I confirmed the script installed correctly and is enabled - through "Get
New" in the Kubuntu App Store when in Settings -> Window Managment ->
KWin Scripts

Confirmed it is the Plasma 6 version from micha4w - by comparing the code that 
was installed locally at: 
/home/pcuser/.local/share/kwin/scripts/alt-f4-desktop/contents/code/main.js

with the corresponding Github Repo at:
https://github.com/micha4w/kde-alt-f4-desktop?tab=readme-ov-file

Pressing Alt-F4 at desktop does nothing - The Alt-F4 KWin script fails
silently

I investigated this thoroughly for hours (as I was trying to find a
workaround) and I believe the issue may stem from the way Plasma 6.4.5
and wayland / qt6 is not allowing workspace.activeWindow; (in .js) to
return the variable .. and/or KWin script is not being called...

For me this is the last thing that will make me completely hooked on
Kubuntu - I am sure other users would feel the same way - The main
selling point of Kubuntu is the keyboard shortcuts and behaviours of
things for the meat-and-potatoes of the OS' GUI are the same as
Microslop Windows so that years of muscle memory don't have to be
retrained and there isn't resistance ditching Windows ;)
