Please file new bugs and have them block this one. Key points: * A lot of the detail is in bug 915356 and the big list of links in the See Also there. * The gist is that with >=xdg-desktop-portals-1.18.0, Portals (and possibly DEs/WMs if they lack their own portal) must provide their own Portals config file. Action needed: - Maintainers of desktop environments in Gentoo need to: make sure their DE provides a configuration upstream - Maintainers of window managers in Gentoo need to: _ask_ if their WM provides a configuration/recommendation upstream, but if not, either add a sensible default, or document on the wiki the need to choose. Especially see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1050911#35 but the various links in bug 915356 are important too.
Even when the various blocker bugs are fixed, we should shove something on the wiki in some general page as everyone will need to consider this at least, even if they're OK with the default.
Would it be desirable for Gentoo to ship a global default to have basic/limited support for any environment that doesn't explicitly ship a config? Having limited functionality might be better than no default functionality out of the box. i.e. what Void is doing - as mentioned in the linked discussion thread. https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/b4c404aac0af3ced08671a8840cd261198689cef
