Created attachment 115076 [details] screenshot Neon dev unstable here... Search for "kwin scripts" KCM in the apps launcher and open it. Window is too small as you can see in my screenshot.
That should be going through systemsettings these days and by extension prevent the awkward sizing that kcmshell suffers from?
Created attachment 131474 [details] kcm opened via shortcut on desktop We can open standalone Kwin Scripts kcm via shortcut added to desktop.
How did you make the shortcut?
Moving bug to kcmshell, AFAIK the actual app is in charge of window sizing, not the framework.
(In reply to Harald Sitter from comment #3) > How did you make the shortcut? open kikcoff, search for "kwin scripts", right-click on "kwin scripts" search result, choose "Add to desktop".
Moving to kwin then. So.... with systemsettings supporting loading specific kcms, the kcms in plasma (at least; not exclusively) should Exec= via systemsettings5 rather than kcmshell5. It gives a better experience and also does away with the sizing problem. We kinda hacked that in for 5.19 (?) in krunner, where we hijack kcmshell5 execution and replace it with systemsettings5 that hack doesn't extend to actually executing a desktop file which runs kcmshell5 and I don't think that'd be smart to do anyway. What kcms should really do is go through systemsettings5 rather than kcmshell.
I can reproduce this issue, let me explain: When we search we get results from the services runner and when triggering a results the services runner "runs" this result https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/runners/services/servicerunner.cpp#L460,in the following lines you can see that the Exec gets changed. But when pinning the entry kcmshell5 is used, because that is written in the Exec line. So we need to individually port the desktop files to use systemsettings. TBH I am not sure why this was not done in the first place.

SSL Preferences kcm is the only kcm available on my system that is still opening as standalone window when launched via icon on desktop. Operating System: KDE neon Unstable Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0
That file is located in kdelibs4support/src/kssl/kcm/kcm_ssl.desktop. I am not sure if the KCM is still used. I had asked on kde-devel and the other devs told me that if it is still used it should be moved to another repo.
The KCM is used for Kssl, this is very rarely used and deprecated.
@Patrick May I mark this bug as resolved? That one KCM needs to be ported/will be removed anyways.
right, let's close this.
