Configuration reloading in KWin QML scripts

Development

How can a QML KWin script listen for changes to its configuration?

I tried using org.kde.kwin.Options, either procedurally or declaratively:

Connections {
    target: Options

    function onConfigChanged() {
        console.log("Configuration was changed");
    }
}

But it never fires. I noticed that I’m not the only person having this issue, since kzones also seems to be stumped.

I am able to read the config on demand using KWin.readConfig("key", defaultValue), which I do at startup, but I’d like to be able to react to changes to the configuration too.

Thanks Gerrit De Vriese for reporting this as a bug in the bug tracker, just found out about it from re-searching for this issue.

No activity there either beyond the report, but just for completeness for whoever else stumbles upon this post, check for news there too!
