Hmm. I figured this was just a me issue, but I see it's more prevalent. Does anyone know how we could launch the dialog from the terminal? It might give us an error message...

Freshly installed from chaotic aur and it doesn't open

[mindo]

From the window decorations I cannot open it, but from the terminal it works just fine.

➜ grep -i exec /usr/share/kservices5/lightlydecorationconfig.desktop
Exec=kcmshell5 lightlydecorationconfig

➜ kcmshell5 lightlydecorationconfig

I get this output whenever I double-click on the Lightly option in kcmwindowdecoration to set the Lightly theme.

It updates the settings correctly, but I wonder if a KDecoration2::DecorationThemeProvider instance means the popup menu... IDK.

Same thing here. Will this be fixed or what?

➜ grep -i exec /usr/share/kservices5/lightlydecorationconfig.desktop
Exec=kcmshell5 lightlydecorationconfig

➜ kcmshell5 lightlydecorationconfig

After following @mindo's suggestion, running the command once fixes this issue. I can open the settings menu just fine even through System Settings as usual.
