leftwm: LeftWM doesn't work properly with LXQt

Describe the bug After my display manager (SDDM), the screen mostly hangs. I can move the mouse cursor, but it doesn’t clear unless I switch to a VT and back. Currently using theme “Red Moon” but it happened with “TNG” too. I am sometimes able to get desktop icons or the panel to appear through some combination of VT switching, unplugging and replugging my external monitor, or reapplying the theme.

To Reproduce Set window_manager=leftwm in ~/.config/leftwm/session.conf

Expected behavior Good layout

‘were’ - I was being explicit that they were installed prior to your question, so the prior error message etc were all with them installed. 😃

Almost expected so, but we repeatedly had reports that were quickly abandoned. Glad you are sticking to it 😄

I’m not compiling locally - is there a way to get just the leftwm logs?

Unfortunatelly not. I actually am working on #508 right now, to help with exactly such situations. But tbh I am not progressing as rocket fast as Aethan is pumping PRs 🤣

Otherwise I may have some time to try compiling locally later on, but can’t right now.

Thanks!
