Summary / Title:
Global shortcuts fail when using dbus-broker due to hardcoded dbus-send
dependency in .desktop files
Component:
general
Description:
In systems using dbus-broker as the D-Bus daemon (or lightweight/minimal setups
where Recommends packages are not installed), shortcuts defined in
/usr/share/kglobalaccel/ fail because they depend on dbus-send being available
in $PATH.
When triggered via kglobalaccel, these calls fail with KIO/Wayland errors:
kwin_wayland_wrapper[...]: kf.kio.gui: "dbus-send" "Command not found"
Affected files identified (examples):
KScreen:
/usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.kscreen.desktop (Exec uses dbus-send ...)
Plasma Desktop / Touchpad:
/usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.touchpadshortcuts.desktop (Exec uses dbus-send
...)
Expected behavior:
Global shortcuts should use native D-Bus integration, C++ helper logic, or
qdbus instead of assuming the external dbus-send binary (from legacy dbus
utilities / dbus-bin) is present on the host system.
Actual behavior:
Shortcuts fail to execute if dbus-send is missing from the host environment.
