KWin settings should not be listed under LXQt Settings
Only essential .desktop files needed for KWin
Packaging is probably to remove, no signing keys available anymore. Release could be done together with regular LXQt release when there are any changes.
other?

A first draft https://github.com/stefonarch/lxqt-kcm-integration/tree/overhaul

I'm afraid Alf's idea seems to me like announcing to our users that KDE settings can be a part of LXQt. Some people already make that mistake and, IMHO, we shouldn't intensify it.

stefonarch commented 3 years ago

Actually searching in AUR and GH for "LXQt" you'll find this and other desktop files already.

I think providing "clean" and essential "official" ones (which are not listed in LXQt Settings). just for Kwin is better.

But if nobody likes that idea I've no problem to make just a repo on my GH.

What we do officially is most important. I'd have no problem if the current repository was marked as "unofficial" somehow but its address says otherwise.

A fairly modular DE lets users have its parts without redundant dependencies. KDE started to do it with KF5 but it hasn't done it with KWin yet. We can't circumvent that fact.

But if nobody likes that idea...

As for me, it isn't about not liking it — I think I thanked Alf for it somewhere — but I don't think it can be an official part of LXQt.

I see you point, and agree partially ;)

But as it exists it has to be or archived or minimally updated as in my PR.

I'm thinking about an lxqt-wm-settings-tools repository or similar on my GH, where to include also better named Xfwm .desktop files - actually there are a) nowhere shown by default b) have general titles like "Window Manager". Those issue only arise when users start to experiment with different WM See https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10681413/131223986-5f9f6329-02f6-4cbe-b465-ea78f62bd58a.png

@stefonarch It's a good idea!
