--- Comment #19 from Sergio <sergio.calleg...@gmail.com> ---
I understand your point.
I have also started using the Wayland session that does not show this specific
issue. Unfortunately, we are still in a trade-off phase, where one needs to
decide whether the Wayland troubles are better than the X11 troubles or the
other way round. ... and there seems little that can be done on the KDE side.
In fact, most of the trouble I am experiencing with wayland seems to come from:
- the total lack of standardization of common things in Wayland
- why cannot there be a standard way to do session restore so plasma cannot
do it?
- why cannot there be a cross-toolkit env variable to decide if
applications should use X11 or Wayland and every toolkit has its own way, so
launching applications via `ssh -X` which should work just fine using Xwayland
does never work?
- why isn't there a single cross-toolkit env variable to control scaling?
- why Java applications won't obey scaling anyway so big commercial
applications (MATLAB to mention one) are now almost unusable unless you use
weird hacks like passing them through Xpra?
- rather strange policy decisions
- why can we have scaling only by 75-100-125-150 etc., what was the issue
with specifying DPIs that enabled a much finer tuning;
- why scaling is managed in a so weird way that most application developers
cannot deal with it, so that even a healthy and rapidly developed project like
libreoffice still has broken scaling on multi monitor with the QT VCLs?
- why cannot applications decide their own icon, so a lot of stuff remains
with the generic "W" icon and Qt's `setWindowIcon` has been broken *by policy*?
- why is there no standard way to deal with the system tray, so those
developing for flatpack have such a hard time making icons appear there? To
mention a few, `sleek`, `spotube`, many other flatpacks applications cannot
show the tray icon on Wayland/KDE and some of these applications had to go back
to using X11 to be usable on plasma (spotube).
Getting somehow resigned...
