            Bug ID: 509413
           Summary: Add support for Session selection in desktop files,
                    similar to DE in OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
      Version First unspecified
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: rauty at altlinux.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Some apps don't work on X11, but they work on Wayland. Some are the opposite.
For example: xkill.
I suggest adding session indication support to OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn.
For example: OnlyShowIn=KDE;GNOME;X11; - will mean that the application
supports GNOME and KDE in the X11 session.

If I understood correctly, then for this we need to edit the
"`std::optional<AutostartEntry> AutostartModel::loadDesktopEntry(const QString
&fileName)`" function in the
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/kcms/autostart/autostartmodel.cpp?ref_type=heads#L54.
