Still nothing changes

Please add the following to the file:
After running kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental, does clicking the launcher in the menu trigger the appropriate mouse bouncing behaviour?

Yes, clicking it in the menu triggers it, only when typing "kmail" on Applications menu (ALT+F2) or using shortcut (I assign kmail to Meta+K) don't.

"of course not" - you must start the service, not the Binary.
has this been the problem? kstart --service /usr/share/applications/kmail.service |

I don't know how to start the service, all I know is double click and typing kmail in Konsole.
This is the output:
|
![]() ![]()
|
My bad
Please look out for the actual file in your distro in case it has a slightly different name/path. |

It's bouncing now. But typing kmail in the Application menu still doesn't work.

If you launch the kmail binary directly, there will be not bouncing. Never. You _must_ start the service.
In doubt, add a "kmail" script somewhere up in the $PATH that starts the service. Funny semi-OT thing is: i'd really prefer to get rid of this silly bounce stuff altogether. Every process should get up some visual feedback (a window. in doubt a splash) in reasonable time (<300ms) |

It's weird because firefox, kate or konsole work. I see that bouncing stuff is funny and it can tell me if I click it successfully. I don't really like splash because it takes your screen space.

I assume because the binary and/or window class is looked up in the services - and that back referencing likely does not work with the particular kmail constellation - but i've no idea why (and no kmail installed to test)

I have reinstalled my OS, and the problem appears without any modification on Kmail. Is it because of my distro? I use Netrunner (13 before and 14 now).

No idea, but executing *any* binary directly (ie. enter "firefox" in konsole) does not cause the bouncannoyance here - neither kate, firefox nor konsole or any other binary - and I can frankly not imagine how that should work at all.
You'll proabaly usually filter and then execute the service but for kmail somehow execute the binary directly -> krunner, kickoff or some other launcher? |
