SUMMARY
I was using night light since kde 5 and recently it caused my panel to freeze
on startup for a minute or two. I am not sure when the issue appear but it
probably come after kde 6.1 because i dont remember any issue prior that. I
traced the issue to my kwinrc missing mode variable in night light setting. My
guess is the mode variable are new or somehow the variable got lost. Adding the
variable back will solve the freezing issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have kwinrc with missing mode variable in nightlight
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE panel freeze at startup
EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldnt freeze for a missing variable, just disable it or something
