Bug ID: 453785 Summary: XDG activation does not work when launching app from overview Product: kwin Version: master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: effects-overview Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: nicolas.fe...@gmx.de Target Milestone: --- STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open an xdg-activation enables single-instance app (e.g. NeoChat) 2. Open it a second time from the overview effect result list OBSERVED RESULT The existing window is not brought to the front EXPECTED RESULT The existing window is brought to the front This works fine when launching e.g. from Kickoff The lauch happens via KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob, which requests an activation token via KWindowSystem The problem is that the overview effect runs in the kwin process, which has a custom KWindowSystem backend which does not have the xdg activation part wired up. We need to implement that part of the KWindowSystem API in kwin's impl and have kwin request a token from itself See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453748 for a similar problem -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
