Swayfx Version:
- 0.3.2
Debug Log: N/A
Configuration File: N/A
Stack Trace: N/A
Description: When using swayfx, the two XDG_CURRENT_SESSION and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variables are not set during login. This breaks screensharing in wayland. Those two variables are set correctly when using sway on the same machine (I am on NixOS so I only change the package to install without changing the rest.

Known issue, happens because setting sway.package = pkgs.swayfx does not apply the wrapper to that package, it's a limitation in the sway module.

Temporary fix is to create an overlay for pkgs.sway, replacing it with swayfx.

This does not solve the problem. I installed swayfx with pkgs.sway override:

package = with pkgs; sway.override { sway-unwrapped = swayfx; };

But there are still problems, e.g. flameshot doesn't work if I run it via sway - sway exec 'flameshot gui -r | wl-copy'
