Hi everyone!

I’m running Fedora 38 with the KDE spin. Wanting to write a manual tiling script for kwin, I started with the tutorial and already failed trying to get debug printing going.

My setup: A function that minimizes all windows (to get an observable effect), which tries to print something (print("myscript: print"), console.info("myscript:info"), console.log("myscript: log")) and is bound to a shortcut. I can successfully minimize the windows, but I don’t get a print statement on journalctl -f nor dbus-monitor (I see press/depress events for the shortcut on dbus-monitor though).

What I tried: I installed kdebugsettings, set ‘Kwin Scripting’ to ‘Full Debug’, removed QT_LOGGING_RULES=false in the Custom Rules section, added QT_LOGGING_RULES="kwin_*.debug=true" to /etc/environment (as well as .bash_profile and .zprofile with export in front, just to be sure), I switched to systemd login and I tried it out in an X11 session - all without success :(

In r/kde it was suggested, that it’s a Fedora issue. I have no idea what it could be. Any idea? Any help would be highly appreciated!
