Thanks for the work on updating LXQt.
amd64 runs with kwin which does bring up one issue.
x11/openbox and obconf-qt are hard dependencies which is not the case for
Debian Derivatives and Arch Linux. Not sure about *rpm based systems.
In Debian, the default window manager is xfwm4 but openbox/kwin can be
installed and xfwm4 removed. Same in Arch. Wayland seems to be steamrolling
into the opensource ecosystem and upstream LXQt plans on wayland for v2.1 and
I'm not if this will exclude X11. There is some chatter about LXQt coming up
with it's own WM which likely will be a Qt based derivative of Kwin.
The other thing I had trouble with is pavucontrol-qt. Trying to add the
volume-control widget to the panel failed and I suspect this is because
pulseaudio is not running. My mailing list searchs and websearchs did not
get any helpful search hits. Do you not start sndio. My LXQt install has a
pkg-readme for jack but I'm not sure how this factors into pulseaudio.
My main interest in LXQt derives from CAD software. Most CAD software is Qt
based my bias is to run it on the lightest Qt window environment. I'm
presently using FreeCAD and recall some interest in the OpenBSD mailing lists.
There are some Qt5 -> Qt6 issues with FreeCAD stable that I'll address in a
separate post.
