Alternatively we can wait for a fix for [1] (pointed out by Sam in bug 905821) [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/issues/74

(In reply to Alexander Tsoy from comment #1) > [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/issues/74 Oops, it's already marked as closed. Probably the issue is fixed for non-gnome sessions only, so upstream issue is irrelevant here and runtime dep is still needed for Gnome.
Can you retry with 44.2? On non gnome setups it should behave better: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome/-/commit/1a1c840ede8ddc5c00ae40b35cc528200ce2fd0e On gnome setups... well, I am unsure how can you have a gnome setup without mutter :/
Since only mutter-45 is in the tree, and is about to get bumped to 46, is this bug still relevant?

I reported this issue because x11-wm/mutter-43.3 was stabilized later than sys-apps/xdg-desktop-portal-gnome-44.1. This is no longer relevant.
