Comment 1 Bojidar Marinov [:bojidar-bg] 2025-06-12 21:50:17 UTC

Managed to replicate locally with Xephyr and kwin_x11; seems to be an X11-only problem.

I would imagine that restoring the registerService and registerObject lines (and the corresponding unregisterObject and unregisterService) would be enough to resolve the regression (apparently, KeyboardDeamon is needed under X11 and I missed that) without undoing the rest of that change, but I'll have to rebuild things locally and see if that alone fixes the issue. Feel free to test and submit an MR with the same if you manage to get it faster than me (:'
