Kickoff icon file-chooser next to file chooser started from firefox

Things like right click menu on the desktop, panel widget settings, desktop settings (I assume also stuff like margins) don't use the global scale value.


OBSERVED RESULT
Desktop right click menu or kickoff settings menu use 1.0x

EXPECTED RESULT
Desktop right click menu or kickoff settings scale like everything else

Works on Wayland. On X11, you can make it work by setting PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1 in your /etc/environment file, if you're willing to to live with some other visual glitches and blurry monochrome icons when using a fractional scale factor (e.g. not 100%, 200%, or 300%).
