Bug ID: 479163
Summary: $HOME/.local/share/applications/org.kde.krunner.deskto
p ignored on startup
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.10
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Startup process
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: rula...@wp.pl
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
The usual way to customize an application is to copy its .desktop file to
~/.local/share/applications and modify it there. It seems that Plasma doesn't
check for a copy of org.kde.krunner.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications and
always uses the "factory" copy in /usr/share/kglobalaccel.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. `cp /usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.krunner.desktop
~/.local/share/applications`
2. Edit the override file to set `Exec=env QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software
/usr/bin/krunner` in an attempt to work around #455913
3. Log out & in
OBSERVED RESULT
The symptom of #455913 manifests, indicating that the ~/.local copy of the
desktop file was not taken into consideration when starting krunner. (It has
been already experimentally determined that killing krunner and re-running it
manually with the workaround applied _does_ alleviate the symptom on this
system).
EXPECTED RESULT
The symptom of #455913 should not manifest, because the workaround should be in
effect as a result of the ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.krunner.desktop
override file being used by Plasma to launch krunner, instead of the "factory"
file.
