Remote Desktop + Share screen script
SUMMARY
RemoteDesktop + ScreenCast dbus interfaces is resulting in different behavior
depending on KDE version. On 5.24 when I run the script I got a screen
selection dialog that I can select the screen with the input sharing
permissions checkbox, but on 5.27+ only appear a dialog saying that will share
screens and input, without checkbox or screen selection. So on 5.27+ it auto
selected the monitor/screen that will be shared.
This behavior start to be a problem when you are using 2 or more monitors with
the ScreenCast.selectSources multiple option as false, in this case, the
selected auto shared monitor is the option “Full workspace” as in the regular
screen share portal. And will end up with 2 or more streams showing the full
workspace on each stream instead one monitor/screen on each stream.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run the shared script (python dbus_rd_screen_cast.py)
2. If KDE 5.24 select the monitor/screen that you want to share, if KDE 5.27+
just press the share button
OBSERVED RESULT
On 5.24 when I run the script I got a screen selection dialog that I can select
the screen with the input sharing permissions checkbox, but on 5.27+ only
appear a dialog saying that will share screens and input, without checkbox or
screen selection. So on 5.27+ it auto selected the monitor/screen that will be
shared.
EXPECTED RESULT
KDE 5.27+ should keep the behavior of selecting monitor/screens as it's on
gnome.
