Description Ilya Fedin 2025-10-13 00:55:54 UTC

SUMMARY
GLib doesn't set XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN unless StartupNotify=true is set: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/d54816de375b89c23cb7937f2153856db508d616/gio/gdesktopappinfo.c#L3010

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not sure how this could be reproduced as I don't know any application using GLib and geo://... I was attempting to implement geo:// URL support in a non-KDE application and noticed that.

OBSERVED RESULT
GLib doesn't set  XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN when opening geo:// URLs on KDE

EXPECTED RESULT
GLib sets  XDG_ACTIVATION_TOKEN when opening geo:// URLs on KDE

Add StartupNotify=true

This ensures GTK apps, portal and anything else using GLib provides XDG activation token
