startup session script. Setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM breaks 3rd-party Qt<br />
software which does not bundle QtWayland. Most prominent example is<br />
the Qt installer itself (see<br />
<a href="https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-60222" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-60222</a>).</p>
<p>On the other hand our Plasma workspace applications need to be forced to<br />
Wayland on a Wayland system. So we have a conflict between we want to<br />
set QT_QPA_PLATFORM and we don't want to set QT_QPA_PLATFORM.</p>
<p>This change adds new API to KWorkspace to address this problem. The new<br />
method adjusts the QT_QPA_PLATFORM based on the XDG_SESSION_TYPE<br />
enviornment variable. It is completely opt-in. Meaning applications need<br />
to explicitly add the call prior to creating the QGuiApplication and if<br />
the user specifies either QT_QPA_PLATFORM env variable or any of the<br />
-platform command line argument variants, the platform detection is<br />
skipped.</p>
<p>The change also adjusts all plasma-workspace applications which should<br />
use Wayland on Wayland to use the new API. The startup script on the<br />
other hand still sets QT_QPA_PLATFORM. We also have applications outside<br />
of plasma-workspace which needs this detection. Examples are:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">powerdevil</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">systemsettings</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">kinfocenter</li>
</ul>
<p>Once this change is merged those applications can be adjusted by linking<br />
against PW::KWorkspace and afterwards QT_QPA_PLATFORM can be unset from<br />
startplasmacompositor.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>See added autotest</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R120 Plasma Workspace</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>platform-detection</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D10816" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D10816</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>krunner/CMakeLists.txt<br />
