I'm suspecting this problem is Gentoo specific, that's why I'm opening a bugreport. Several elements of the Plasma Next desktop are not working. If I launch plasma-shell from a terminal, I'm getting messages like following, when doing actions that don't work: file:///usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.desktop/contents/views/Desktop.qml:88: TypeError: Cannot read property 'showingDialog' of null file:///usr/share/plasma/packages/org.kde.desktoptoolbox/contents/ui/ActionDelegate.qml:35: ReferenceError: modelData is not defined file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.panel/contents/ui/ConfigOverlay.qml:252: TypeError: Cannot read property 'applet' of null file:///usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.desktop/contents/views/Desktop.qml:90: TypeError: Cannot read property 'preventWindowHide' of null Among the things that don't work are: the widget selector for adding widgets, the activity manager and the plasma menu (by clicking that little plasma icon that's in the upper left corner by default) I will attach a command line output of starting the plasma-shell and performing some of the actions that don't work. Reproducible: Always
Created attachment 377686 [details] plasma-shell command line output I'm running kde-frameworks-4.99.0, plasma-workspaces-4.96.0 and Qt-5.3.0 on an otherwise more or less stable system. Please let me know if you need any additional information.
I don't think anyone has tested the frameworks and workspaces pre-releases together yet, I suspect they're simply not fully compatible - it really is a bit of a moving target at the moment.
fixed in git. Not gentoo specific appearantly.
