Bug ID: 473860
Summary: Autostart programs display before the panel and menus
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.7
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
I have following autostart programs:
- Dolphin RPM
- Nextcloud RPM
- Mullvad VPN RPM
- Thunderbird Flatpak
- Libreoffice Flatpak
- qBittorrent Flatpak
- Signal Desktop Flatpak
- SyncThingy Flatpak
What happens when logging in (exiting SDDM) is:
- Dolphin loads
- The Flatpak apps load
- The plasma panel shows up reeeallly slow
- The apps finish loading
This means that I have apps display before the Plasma panel and all the menus
are even there. The Apps have SSD decorations, thats all I can see of "Plasma"
The Panel also loads really slow, the elements fly in and it stutters a bit.
The whole result doesnt look responsive and modern at all.
PROPOSAL
1. Have Plasma load privileged. So until plasma is not fully loaded, no apps
start. This should be settable with a setting though, for example a VPN service
may be wanted to start privileged
2. Have the option to add some delay, using a slider for example.
I simply edited the .desktop entries in ~/.config/autostart and added "sleep 5
&& " before the command in "Exec="
I will report the result
