xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.x introduces a new way to select which portals will be used for which desktop environments, modelled on mimeapps.list: - each desktop environment should provide a file like /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/gnome-flashback-portals.conf - the filename is ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf where ${DESKTOP} is the desktop environment's entry in $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (the same as the DesktopNames from /usr/share/{x,wayland-}sessions/*.desktop), folded to lower case - sysadmins and users can override this via files named portals.conf or ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf in various locations like /etc/xdg-desktop-portal and ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal In the case of gnome-session-flashback, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to GNOME-Flashback:GNOME, so in the absence of other configuration it would use the gnome-portals.conf from gnome-session (if installed). However, because GNOME Flashback uses metacity rather than GNOME Shell, its mix of desired portals is probably somewhat different from the full-fat GNOME session, so probably it should have its own gnome-flashback-portals.conf that doesn't try to make use of GNOME-Shell- or Mutter-specific interfaces? https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-session/-/commit/b201c9c40e3adc7bf0b1c3504bef4c8602aac31d was the equivalent change for gnome-session.
