SUMMARY I was trying to make an example application using python that utilizes the Global Shortcuts Portal. The code for it is here: https://gist.github.com/Aviana/a3a0368172e326d6ccc57cb254c1e569 When watching the bus with dbus-monitor it seems as if i am sending the correct signals. However when running this snippet the system settings open but my app is not showing in the list. I have tried to the best of my abilities to make this work but i am simply stuck. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run the provided snippet 2. Watch the KDE settings open OBSERVED RESULT The registered app "mytest" is not listed in the settings. EXPECTED RESULT There should be an entry along the lines of "mytest" with 2 configurable key bindings.

Hey, found the same issue trying to get my own app to work via this protocol, and fixed xdg-desktop-portal-kde after some debugging and digging. Just found your issue which is likely to be the same problem. Have a merge request open to fix it at https://invent.kde.org/plasma/xdg-desktop-portal-kde/-/merge_requests/274 . It also contains information on why support ended up broken. Another merge request in the test code if you'd like to see the change necessary to have client code work relative to the examples coded against the draft protocol: https://invent.kde.org/libraries/xdg-portal-test-kde/-/merge_requests/25
