xdg-settings attempts to call kde5-config instead of kf5-config
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/blob/master/scripts/xdg-settings.in#L161
when KDE_SESSION_VERSION is 5 the relevant script is called kf5-config
not kde5-config
, from what I've been able to gather. I can confirm that kf5-config --path config
produces a :
-delimited list of paths that contain kde config files including the kdeglobals
file that I see this function trying to access in my current workflow.
