I'm on a mostly fresh install of Fedora Sway 40, and whenever I hit a button that should result in the file chooser opening up (like I try to Download something in Ungoogled Chromium or set my library in Steam), nothing happens. I've gotten stuck trying to look at fixes and debug it myself, so I was wondering if I could get some help.

The last thing I tried to do to fix this was to reinstall Fedora Sway spin while keeping my home directory, but nothing got fixed. On my last install I was trying to get my gtk and qt6 themes to work together with kvantum, and it may be possible along the way that I deleted something important in the ~/home/username directory. (I recall deleting ~/.local/gtk-2.0 and ~/.local/gtk-3.0.
I also have the following files in /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal:
/usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/sway-portals

# Use xdg-desktop-portal-gtk for every portal interface...
default=gtk
# ... except for the ScreenCast, Screenshot and Secret
