Description Neal Gompa 2024-01-02 02:20:15 UTC
SUMMARY
If you set up your desktop with no panels and change the right click desktop menu to the "Application Menu", you can not exit the session through that menu and have no graphical way to do it.

Please add them to the application menu so that it is always available.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on desktop and select "Configure Desktop and Wallpaper"
2. Select Mouse Actions in the Desktop Folder Settings dialog
3. Change right button from "Standard Menu" to "Application Menu"
4. Click Apply then OK to close.

OBSERVED RESULT
Application Menu does not have "Lock Screen" and "Leave" actions at the bottom of the menu like the standard menu does.

EXPECTED RESULT
Application Menu has the "Lock Screen" and "Leave" actions at the bottom of the menu like the standard menu does.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 39 (KDE Plasma)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is something that a few other desktops (Xfce notably) and some classic window managers (like Openbox) have.

I'm surprised to see anyone even using this thing. While it's possible for someone to end up in this state by accident, I think it's very unlikely. The way you delete all your panels and also change your desktop context menu to show a launcher are quite roundabout. Our conclusion was that anyone who does knows what they're doing and is capable of ending the session via KRunner or some other heavily customized means.

But sure, we can consider it.
