Fixing Filelight Pie Chart Rendering on KDE - Part 2

Problem

I fixed filelight rendering when launching from the menu, however, a good amount of the time I want to launch it from dolphin. I noticed that my did not solve the issue.

Solution

When running a find on .desktop files we get the following:

dru@TheArchBeast:~$ sudo find / -name '*.desktop' | grep filelight
find: ‘/run/user/1000/doc’: Permission denied
/var/lib/flatpak/runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/5.15-24.08/ca531f435f2a16f9487cdce9727d7f20c9fd1c489bf89c2a581e3aa47c4772a3/files/share/kf5/kmoretools/presets-kmoretools/org.kde.filelight.desktop
/home/dru/.local/share/applications/org.kde.filelight.desktop
/usr/share/applications/org.kde.filelight.desktop
/usr/share/kio/servicemenus/filelight.desktop
/usr/share/kf5/kmoretools/presets-kmoretools/org.kde.filelight.desktop

My solution was to find the Exec=filelight line in each of these and insert env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb before filelight and after Exec=

Result

This worked but I’m worried about the desktop files being overwritten in future updates. Hopefully filelight will work on native wayland soon (as we’re now being forced to adopt it).
