SUMMARY Application-specific action "start_new_session" does not appear in menu or toolbar in a Plasma session. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Build and run KTimeTracker from HEAD (https://invent.kde.org/pim/ktimetracker/-/commit/32f33e4f0c3a6301ac7a8bb55e6741209dabb5fb), an older version could also let you reproduce the bug. 2. Open File menu OBSERVED RESULT There is no menu item "File -> Start New Session". There are no relevant error messages on the stderr/stdout, it just silently hides. EXPECTED RESULT There should be a menu item "File -> Start New Session" because the action "start_new_session" is listed for the File menu in ktimetrackerui.rc, and the same action "start_new_session" is registered by the C++ code (see src/timetrackerwidget.cpp) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.23.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Workarounds: A. Rename "start_new_session" to something else in the KTimeTracker source code (e.g. to "new_session" or to "start_new_session_") B. Run KTimeTracker in Fluxbox (or another DE) I wonder if Plasma defines a conflicting action with the same name "start_new_session". If this is the case, could we maybe introduce namespaces for actions in order to avoid such conflicts? (Or at least make such conflicts noticeable to the users and/or developers?)
Looks like it's caused by the following section in /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/xdg/kdeglobals on Fedora: ``` # HOW: https://develop.kde.org/deploy/kiosk/introduction/ # WHY: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1929643 [KDE Action Restrictions] action/start_new_session=false action/switch_user=false ```
