xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.x introduces a new way to select which portals will
be used for which desktop environments, modelled on mimeapps.list:
- each desktop environment should provide a file like
/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/exwm-portals.conf
- the filename is ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf where ${DESKTOP} is the desktop
environment's entry in $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (the same as the DesktopNames
from /usr/share/{x,wayland-}sessions/*.desktop), folded to lower case
- sysadmins and users can override this via files named portals.conf or
${DESKTOP}-portals.conf in various locations like /etc/xdg-desktop-portal
and ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal
Please see portals.conf(5) or its source code
https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/blob/main/doc/portals-conf.rst
for full details.
elpa-exwm sets XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=EXWM, so it should provide an
exwm-portals.conf that sets up the correct portal backends. For example,
if the intention is to use x-d-p-gtk for desktop interfaces such as
File->Open and File->Save As... dialogs, then the simplest way to write
that would be:
[preferred]
default=gtk;
