Re: [tumbleweed] kde/plasma/wayland: Primary Selection Protocol (middle-mouse to paste)

Hi,

with switching to KDE/Plasma v5.32 beta aka v5.22.90 packages from
Norbert's APT repository middle-mouse-paste now works in
KDE/Plasma/Wayland on my Debian/unstable AMD64 system.

Before I had this workaround under Wayland:

$ git diff /usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop
/home/dileks/.local/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop.dileks
diff --git a/usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop
b/home/dileks/.local/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop.dileks
index 3ba1e99e65a5..5bd96d79eb65 100644
--- a/usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop
+++ b/home/dileks/.local/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop.dileks
@@ -1,7 +1,7 @@
 [Desktop Entry]
 Type=Application
 TryExec=konsole
-Exec=konsole
+Exec=konsole -platform xcb
 Icon=utilities-terminal
 Terminal=false
 Categories=Qt;KDE;System;TerminalEmulator;

I tested cut-n-paste with konsole and kate by copying a URL into
Firefox and vice-versa.

Just wanted to let you know.
