Bug ID: 402377
Summary: kf5 doesn't honor XDG_MENU_PREFIX at all
Product: frameworks-kded
Version: 5.28.0
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: fa...@kde.org
Reporter: frank...@goodhorse.idv.tw
CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It looks like that kf5 does not honor the XDG_MENU_PREFIX environment variable
at all. When I set it to another menu prefix, it won't read the menu file I
want, but still read /etc/xdg/menus/kf5-applications.menu. Originally I found
it in Kubuntu 16.04 and was wondering if it is a bug in Kubuntu or KDE, but
this time I installed KDE (5.28.0) in Debian Stretch (9.6.0) and saw the same
problem. Besides, in LxQT, which uses KDE Framework 5, has the same problem
too.
Not sure if this problem is in KF5 or Qt5.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. sudo add-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 4CD565B5
2. sudo apt update; sudo apt install ezgo-menu
3. restart X window (by restarting displaying manager) and re-login
4. the XDG_MENU_PREFIX is set to "ezgo-" in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/33-ezgo-menu
and the environment variable (examined by running 'env') is also set to
"ezgo-". But it still reads kf5-applications.menu.
5. with root privileges, run
cd /etc/xdg/menus
mv kf5-applications.menu kf5-applications.menu.bak
ln -s ezgo-applications.menu kf5-applications.menu
and re-login, the ezgo menu worked.
OBSERVED RESULT
kf5-applications.menu is always used no matter what I set to XDG_MENU_PREFIX
EXPECTED RESULT
It should follow the environment variable XDG_MENU_PREFIX
