I’ve successfully created a standalone KWin Wayland session based on the below setup.
The session launches and functions well,But I have two issues with the taskbar:
- Minimized applications are not visible in the taskbar.
- The “+” icon, which typically indicates multiple instances of the same application, is not displayed above running applications.
I’ve found a temporary workaround by running /usr/bin/dbus-launch /usr/bin/plasmashell --replace after the session starts:
This works,but it suggests a problem with how Plasmashell isn’t being launched in my session script correctly, even though the bar is there along with the applications that are launchable.
any suggestions how to lunch Plasmashell with all the functionality with a bash script would be helpful.
