SUMMARY
Dolphin is stuck in light (aka flashbang) mode. changing themes fro me the
commandline or the kde system settigns does nothing (changing icon themes and
window decoration themes works).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  update dolphin to 24.08.3 with KDE Manjaro
2. open dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin is stuck in light mode.

When run from command line get the error message: kf.config.core: Watching
absolute paths is not supported "/usr/share/color-schemes/BreezeLight.colors"

EXPECTED RESULT
dolphin should respect theme set from cmd or settings menu

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have qt6ct installed  with $QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME but disabling it doesn't do
anything.

I've also tried $QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE but that does nothing

dolphin --platformtheme also does nothing.

I've used kfind to search as many files as possible (name and contents) looking
for a config file that explicitly has the absolute path but can't find
anything.

the error message specifically comes from
https://github.com/KDE/kconfig/blame/master/src/core/kconfigwatcher.cpp but I'm
not much of a programmer so I don't know where to go from there.

Rant: This could very well be a Manjaro specific issue. I'm so done with their
jank but too lazy to just switch to plain Arch.
