--- Comment #17 from . . ---
You are right this is probably a gimp bug appearing in all distributions when
a user has a kde desktop, kwin_x11 window manger, and compositing off.
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
