SUMMARY
```
spectacle

```

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle hangs after the line `qt.qml.typeresolution.cycle: Cyclic dependency detected between "qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/private/TextFieldContextMenu.qml" and "qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/desktop/MenuItem.qml"`

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle's gui should open up

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.90.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.246.0
Qt Version: 6.6.1
Kernel Version: 6.7.0-rc3-273-tkg-eevdf (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor
Memory: 31.3 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER/PCIe/SSE2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried both git-master and 24.01.80
spectacle -r does the same thing:
```
spectacle -r

But
```
spectacle -b

```
spectacle -b -u is able to take a screenshot
```
spectacle -b -u

(screenshot is saved) --copy-image also works with -u

Comment 1 deresiant 2023-12-07 15:38:36 UTC

Created attachment 163983 [details]
my kde desktop file since the logs mention it

I added my .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop I don't have an org.kde.spectacle.desktop or anything similar in my ~/.local/share/applications/ directory

Comment 2 deresiant 2023-12-07 15:49:14 UTC

My previous comment was completely wrong. I searched for exactly "org.kde.spectacle.desktop" but I have made shortcuts to commands in systemsettings which autogenerated the file "spectacle.desktop" with the following:
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=/usr/bin/spectacle -u -b -n --copy-image
Name=/usr/bin/spectacle -u -b -n --copy-image
NoDisplay=true
StartupNotify=false
Type=Application

Adding the line:
X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.kwin.Screenshot,org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2
allowed the gui to start up and adding the line:
X-KDE-Wayland-Interfaces=org_kde_plasma_window_management,zkde_screencast_unstable_v1
like in the full org.kde.spectacle.desktop gets rid of the first warning `Remember requesting the interface on your desktop file: X-KDE-Wayland-Interfaces=zkde_screencast_unstable_v1`

Is it possible for systemsettings shortcut generation to fix up these cases with broken kde app shortcuts? I don't want to close this issue yet. unless you guys don't want the shortcut generating thing to have these extra features.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-12-07 20:27:00 UTC

This means you're mixing the 6 and 5 versions of Spectacle and KWin (or vice versa). That's not supported in Plasma 6; you need the 6 versions of both.

Comment 4 deresiant 2023-12-08 00:43:11 UTC

ohhh, ok. I thought the beta was considered full plasma6, but it seems even the version number is still 5.9

I can't tell for spectacle though, it seems to use the date, so I can't tell what it's on: 24.01.80
