Created attachment 177608 [details] Screenshot of stubborn notification SUMMARY After upgrading to the 6.3 beta, and reconfiguring my task bar, I got this notification after a while that I cannot figure out how to dismiss. Clicking, etc. doesn't work. I've gotten a number of other notifications, but this one just doesn't want to go anywhere for some reason. See screenshot attached. I'm not sure if it's related, but it's also strangely unstyled, and doesn't follow my theme (which, I have fully reset, including layout). All of the notifications are like that since the update. Not sure if this part of it is a bug, but I thought I'd note it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Remove an "Icons-Only Task Manager" under some unknown conditions 2. This notification pops up, and clicking etc. can't get rid of it. OBSERVED RESULT It's stuck there EXPECTED RESULT It's dismissable. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: Latest Arch Linux w/ kde-unstable repo KDE Plasma Version: listed as 6.2.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I don't know what this particular notification is stuck, but I was messing around in the settings, so maybe there is some weird trigger. Anyway, if this happens to someone else, you aren't alone haha.
It looks like the Plasma notification server isn't running, so when Plasma sent a notification, it was displayed by another piece of software supplying a notification server — apparently one that mishandles notifications that don't time out, or that include buttons. This is a bug in that software, whatever it is (maybe dunst?). And the fact that a different notification server is running is a local configuration issue on your system.

I installed niri the other day, and I went and installed all of the optional dependencies along with it, which include both mako and xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, which are both in the list. (Although only xdg-desktop-portal-gtk is running, and I'd installed that earlier, hmm..) Anyway, that's almost certainly the issue, thank you for the help! :)
