Include plasma-integration in the plasma-desktop-service?

Include plasma-integration in the plasma-desktop-service?

[Bodertz]

(Not to be confused with the similarly named plasma-browser-integration)

plasma-integration, quoting GitHub[0], "[i]ntegrates Qt applications
with the KDE workspace by providing a QPlatformTheme", or in other
words, makes Qt applications not provided by KDE correctly use the theme
set by KDE.

I ran into this issue by installing transmission-qt and noticing that it
was not using the Breeze theme that I had set in KDE's settings.

Installing the plasma-integration package fixes this, but I feel that
this is something that should be handled by adding
plasma-desktop-service-type to my list of system services.

Thoughts on that?



P.S. I also think that might be a good idea for the kded package, but I
know no longer recall why I added that to my list of packages to
install.

It seems that plasma has already include plasma-integration by
default[0], not sure why you would need to install it again.

Hmm, perhaps I have a messed up configuration somehow.

A snippet of my /etc/config.scm:

    ;; Below is the list of system services.  To search for available
     ;; services, run 'guix system search KEYWORD' in a terminal.
     (services
      (cons*
       (service plasma-desktop-service-type)
       [...]

`guix system search plasma` just returns plasma-desktop.

I would like having that service to install for me plasma-integration.
As far as I can tell, it does not.  As far as I can tell, it does not,
and I need to define my own list of kde packages to install, among them
plasma-integration:

    (define kde-packages
      (list ark bluedevil bluez-qt filelight gwenview kate kcalc kdeconnect kde-gtk-config okular plasma-pa plasma-integration kded dolphin))


I will try to guix system reconfigure without plasma-integration in
kde-packages to see if it is installed.  Maybe I'm just out of date or
something.

Apologies for the noise.  Everything works as expected after a guix
system reconfigure.  If I had to guess, it was probably just a version
mismatch between the system profile and the profile I was installing
transmission-qt into.

Thanks.
