Do I take this to man that you started out with GNOME or some other desktop environment, and then manually installed a bunch of KDE packages?
Comment 2 shamim.islam@gmail.com 2025-03-19 22:46:21 UTC 
No. I meant I installed KDE only firist. I run Fedora KDE only. I do not use Gnome. 

A little late to the party.

This problem has been fixed as of Fedora 41.
