I am not able to confirm, but speculate that when starting gimp with dbus-launch, gimp plug-in may be falling back to the old way of doing things which still works. Lots of discussion on the topic of gimp working on other desktops, like: "In order to keep gnome-screenshot working with other window managers, this keeps the old, X11 based area selection code around as a fallback when the DBus interface is unavailable." https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/commit/56065725542e36bdde6ac... There's a TODO comment in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/blob/master/plug-ins/screenshot/screensh... that says: "The KDE API has "screenshotArea" method but no method to get coordinates could be found." Which might explain why the third option is not there. I attempted to use dbus-monitor, but you need to know a lot more about kde, dbus and how gimp -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
