Switching from TTY to Desktop crashes Desktop/PCmanFM

[DWAM-gdl]

Hi Simon

Sorry but I found a new problem with pcmanfm managing the desktop

How to reproduce ?

• autologin to desktop
• start pcmanfm and other apps
• switch to TTY1-TTY6
• switch back to Desktop with CTRL+ALT+7

What happens ?
Desktop crashes, pcmanfm closes, icons of opened apps in the taskbar disappear
Sometimes wallpaper does not reload at all, taskbar comes back after 1 second or so

I notice this problem on 2 RPI5 with RaspiOS / Wayland / Trixie

• One is my daily raspiOS host with a lot of customizations and apps installed
• the other one is a fresh Desktop install with no customisations except a few packages installed (mostly to test things)

Another RPI5 with Trixie and KDE Plasma is not affected by this issue.

This is new... It used to work great, at least until last week or so.

Here's the link to this issue's thread on the forum. Some guys have added more info that could be useful.

Hi Simon

it's much better...

I think we lost in performance though: it's slow and the wallpaper does not always comes back when the desktop is reloaded (at least it happened twice since last update)

You're gonna hate me but I found something else. Open a new issue now...
