Description Michail Vourlakos 2021-12-31 14:33:41 UTC 
SUMMARY
when Latte startups it overwrites _k_friendly_name for Plasma and names it "Latte Dock". If the user goes to Global Shortcuts afterwards will find two different records for Latte Dock BUT one of them is actually the official Plasma desktop one
Comment 1 Michail Vourlakos 2021-12-31 14:34:06 UTC 
no idea yet why this happens and how it can be fixed....
Comment 2 Michail Vourlakos 2021-12-31 14:36:24 UTC 
maybe this is relevant: https://github.com/KDE/kglobalaccel/blob/master/src/kglobalaccel.cpp#L413
Comment 3 Michail Vourlakos 2021-12-31 14:42:39 UTC 
tracked down to plasma systemtray to create this issue and I dont know it might be one of the applets in the systemtray....
Comment 4 Michail Vourlakos 2021-12-31 15:38:39 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Add Notifications applet inside Latte Dock
2. Go to Plasma SystemSettings -> Shortcuts and observe that Plasma has been faulty renamed to Latte Dock
3. Restart plasma desktop
4. Go again to [2] and observe that Plasma Desktop shortcuts record is now shown correctly
5. Next time Latte start same thing will occur again and Plasma Desktop will have been rename to Latte Dock and two records will now exist in the system.

Latte Dock has System Tray forked (Ui part, C++ backend libraries are the same). Several times in the past this caused issues.

Can you check if you have the same behavior on pure Plasma, with Latte? If yes, then bug is in Latte Dock itself (there is a separate product/component for that)

The issue is with Notifications not systray. Latte does not change anything to Notifications.
Comment 7 Michail Vourlakos 2021-12-31 21:18:19 UTC 
Just to add, I have checked that Latte when not using Notifications applet in any way it does not provide such issue.
Comment 8 Michail Vourlakos 2022-01-01 19:12:26 UTC 
my guess is that this is the faulter: https://github.com/KDE/plasma-workspace/blob/master/applets/notifications/globalshortcuts.cpp#L22
