SUMMARY After logging in, KDE Plasma successfully launches xsettingsd as expected. However, this same instance of xsettingsd appears to do literally nothing to Flatpak applications. Starting xsettingsd by yourself fixes this issue... until the next time you log in with no prior running xsettingsd instances. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Log in 2. See xsettingsd running in System Activity 3. Open a Flatpak'd GTK application like Mozilla Firefox OBSERVED RESULT Those applications use their fallback font, whatever that may be in your context, as one example of the notable consequences of being unaffected. EXPECTED RESULT The outcome of launching xsettingsd manually. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.27.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION May be the same bug as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426788, but the issue's too vague to be sure. Will test on KDE neon 5.27.8 in the coming hours.
Additional note: The parent process of the troubled xsettingsd is systemd.
Nevermind, can no longer reproduce on 5.27.8, so given how frequently it happened in 5.27.5 meaning it couldn't have been an unlucky occurrence, I'm gonna assume this was indeed a bug that accidentally got fixed. Still,
Nevermind, managed to reproduce it on 5.27.8
