2. Log out, log back in

White overlay

desktoptheme: Remove duplicate stylesheet from SVGs

Some SVGs randomly have more than one style sheet, with the same id

This is clearly nonsensical and seems to cause issues with Qt 6.11

I’m using KDE Plasma version 6.6.4. 
The bug seems to be fixed only when I set the "Plasma Style" theme to Breeze. 
With other themes (I’ve tried many of the top-downloaded ones), the overlay remains white.

Please report this to the theme author, most likely the theme's SVG files has similarly invalid style sheets
