Why does invoking a nested Plasma Wayland session disable some keys, after it closes, until logout?

[rokejulianlockhart]

After I SIGTERM’d plasma_wayland firefox-nightly chromium-browser, ^[1] my Meta and Alt keys became disabled without it active, until I invoked qdbus-qt6 org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown org.kde.Shutdown.logout. ^[2] This appears to be reproducible. Why do those keys become bound to the nested compositor?

   #!/usr/bin/env sh
   qdbus-qt6 org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown org.kde.Shutdown.logout

I’ve since resolved it by using:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
export $(dbus-launch) && \
kwin_wayland

…instead of pwsh -Command kwin_wayland. The documentation did advise that. ^[1]
