That's not a bad idea.
Comment 2 Aleix Pol 2021-02-18 15:23:24 UTC 
I don't really understand. You should be using xdg-desktop-portal-kde on Kubuntu.

Maybe there's a problem in xdg-desktop-portal-kde that you're workarounding by running the -gtk counterpart?

I don't know, right now xdg-desktop-portal-kde cannot do what xdg-desktop-portal-gtk can do.
Comment 4 Nicolas Fella 2021-02-18 22:59:17 UTC 
Even if installing the -gtk portal was the solution, making discover depend on it is the wrong approach given it's not needed to use flatpak apps
Comment 5 Unknown 2022-05-08 17:03:51 UTC 
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is now preinstalled in kubuntu.
