SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports

On login, the background image from the current theme is missing, presenting a black screen instead. And I can't right click the background to bring up the context menu. This happens if I'm using an external monitor with my laptop monitor disabled. If I set the monitors to mirror each other, I start with a black screen, but the right click works, and after right clicking, I see the background image.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use the default theme that comes with Manjaro Pahvo
2. Use an external monitor with a laptop, with the laptop screen disabled
3. Login
4. Right click on background

OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing happens upon right click of the desktop background, and the background doesn't show any images from the selected theme.

EXPECTED RESULT

A right click would bring up a context menu.
