Commit 23bef4a4 breaks applications.menu when using dolphin from WMs

Description:

Upgrading kservice5 to 5.115.0-2 breaks file association in dolphin when used from a WM (eg. i3-wm). Specifically the deletion of the file /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu

Additional info:

I use qt5ct as QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME

  • package version(s): pacman -Qi kservice5 | grep Version Version : 5.115.0-2

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Upgrade to kservice5 version 5.115.0-2
  2. File /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu gets deleted
  3. Dolphin file associations stop working when using dolphin in i3-wm
  4. Downgrading the package to version 5.115.0-1 restores file associations in dolphin file manager (or copying the file application.menu to /etc/xdg/menu/ directory).
