It actually works surprisingly well. The builtin wallpapers are now detected again and the system settings seem fine too.

Is this getting good to go by chance?

The gtk settings and deepin packages are broken (due to kwin update). I have spent some time on both but didn't find any easy fixes. If you want to bring this closer to being merged, feel free to take a look at those problems. I can not tell how much time I will be able to spend on this in the next days.

The gtk settings and deepin packages are broken (due to kwin update).

The deepin packages have stagnated on upstream. For almost an year they have not been updated. Deepin Linux is working privately on a new version of their Linux distribution with substantial changes. For this reason the packaging of the Deepin Desktop Environment is dormant on nixpkgs as well, waiting new releases from upstream.

For now I think you can mark both deepin.dde-kwin and deepin.startdde (which depends on deepin.dde-kwin) as broken.

I am investigating the GTK theme issue now. My first guess is that it is due to the missing dependency on xsettingsd.

I am investigating the GTK theme issue now. My first guess is that it is due to the missing dependency on xsettingsd.

Actually, it has nothing to do with kde-gtk-config at all. It seems that kded is not running, or at least systemsettings cannot connect to it. I discovered this when I tried to configure Background Services.

EDIT: I have lots of messages like this in dmesg:

traps: .kded5-wrapped[4407] trap int3 ip:7fe761ac13f5 sp:7fff84dabe00 error:0 in libglib-2.0.so.0.6400.4[7fe761a87000+81000]

So I guess kded is segfaulting?

[ttuegel]

Apparently I already fixed this? #40447
But now the patch must move. 🙄

deepin was removed in #96610, please rebase.

[ttuegel]

I fixed kde-gtk-config, but I'm still tracking down some missing dependencies.

[ttuegel]

We are still affected by #96055, but I don't see that as a reason to block merging as soon as the check pass again!

Thanks everyone who helped this happen, especially @petabyteboy ! 🎉
