Hi,

Unless I misunderstand you want Enlightenment to start with the xdg-user-dirs so xdg-desktop-portal will run? Enlightenment doesn't use the usual /etc/xdg/autostart stuff so you will need to install xdg-user-dirs (or whatever your Distro calls it) and then you need to add that to Enlightenment's 'Startup Applications'. So Menu-->Settings-->Settings Panel-->Apps-->Startup Applications and in the 'System' tab if there is an entry for 'User Folders Update' or something similar you will want that to be selected to run when the system starts up... That will expose the User XDG folders and it will also make them appear in Enlightenment's File Manager.

No idea but... it seems the issue is either with Qt or flatpak itself.
possibly
expecting a specific dbus service. it affects everyone else too it seems
(no de
at all - as you mention i3 etc.). my guess is this is a bad implementation
of
something in Qt and/or flatpak assuming a big desktop env. solution:

[...]
Not sure if I had the same error again, but today I had a nice debugging
session with my friend Claude and the problem is related to lack of the
XDG_DATA_DIRS when dbus starts `xdg-desktop-portal`.
