Screenshot of window rule intended to place vncviewer on all desktops
SUMMARY
Window rule including force to all virtual desktops does not function; the
window is only present on the desktop that happened to be active at the time.
Other components of the rule (force to screen 1, run full screen, ignore global
shortcuts) are honored.
The use case is that I use my second display to run a VNC session to my work
laptop. I want to be able to switch virtual desktops for my primary display
while having the VNC session stay put. I can do it manually by taking
vncviewer out of full screen mode, right clicking on the titlebar decoration,
and selecting move to all desktops).
OpenSUSE 15.6, kwin-x11 (wayland has some limitations that make it not feasible
to use).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Apply the window rule shown in the screenshot
2. Start vncviewer
OBSERVED RESULT
vncviewer only shows on the current desktop; if I switch desktops (I use
alt-shift-left to switch to the next desktop on the left, for example), the
vncviewer is not visible on that desktop.
EXPECTED RESULT
vncviewer should be present on all desktops
