Since 5.25, no matter what method is used to set the environment variable. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install and set up an alternative Window Manager of choice for use with KDE Plasma (X11) 2. Set the KDEWM environment variable using a pre-startup script in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env/ OBSERVED RESULT KDE Plasma spawns Kwin EXPECTED RESULT KDE Plasma spawns the specified Window Manager SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux Rolling, all testing and unstable repo's enabled Kernel version: 5.18.3-arch1-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION N/A -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
