Thanks. I think my underlying problem was that all the commands to |
2 |
launch wayland (variants on "dbus-launch startplasma-wayland") were all |
3 |
very close to the last line of .xinitrc when launching X, so I just |
4 |
made changes there, but stupidly didn't recognize that I needed to |
5 |
issue that line directly, not indirectly through startx. Thanks for |
6 |
the necessary clue. I obviously still have tuning to do, but I do have |
7 |
a functioning desktop. (I also don't use any DM, and am happy I was |
8 |
able to get this working without needing to add that layer.) |
