Description Michail Vourlakos 2021-04-01 21:03:20 UTC

SUMMARY
Latte is enabling/disabling and tracks two options in kwinrc file:

ModifierOnlyShortcuts/Meta
Windows/BorderlessMaximizedWindows

so it writes the required values in kwinrc file and calls afterwards "/KWin reconfigure" function through dbus. Unfortunately under wayland even though in the past it was working for some releases now it creates a blocking situation on the entire interface.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. login in wayland
2. qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin reconfigure

OBSERVED RESULT
interface becomes blocked

EXPECTED RESULT
interface should reload and work properly afterwards
