@jtojnar Not caused by this change, but FYI this package doesn't work very well within a KDE desktop environment.

It's unable to make any connections to MySQL servers if you don't have gnome3.gnome-keyring service activated due to the error "The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files". I don't know if NixOS has any concept of packages that rely on other services being installed to run properly because they need to talk to them via DBus, or if there's some way this should be documented.

It also seems to be hard-coded into using the Adwaita GTK theme instead of whatever GTK theme is set by kde-gtk-config. I even tried setting GTK override env vars like GTK_THEME and it didn't seem to have any effect. It keeps generating errors like "Error loading theme icon 'window-close' for stock: Icon 'window-close' not present in theme Adwaita". Unfortunately I don't know enough about GTK to diagnose exactly what is causing this.

I would expect KWallet to provide this interface but for some reason it does not?

Yeah, this is a common issue (especially with dconf). Unfortunately there is currently no such mechanism. I would like something like described in #52777 (comment)

That is a problem with icon theme, not GTK theme. There is currently not a consensus how to best solve this (see discussion in #43150 (comment) for details). Installing gnome3.adwaita-icon-theme should work.

Yeah, doing a bit more research into this it seems like a common problem people are having with KDE, apparently both kwallet and ksecretsservice which was supposed to replace kwallet are not really maintained very much and are out of date with modern standards like the freedesktop.org secrets spec. ☹️

Thanks for the info, I like your suggestion for being able to specify system dependencies.

Thanks for pointing that out, that helped me a get a bit further with my research into this. After digging into this a bit more I realized that my problem was that I didn't have a ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file to set the GTK icon theme to Breeze instead of the default of Adwaita. After getting that set up it finds the Breeze icons just fine! Still though it's not entirely clear to me why my home directory was automatically populated with a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file which sets the GTK icon themes for GTK2 applications, but not a ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file to set the same icon theme for GTK3 applications. I guess this just must be a limitation of the version of KDE that is in NixOS.

To anyone finding this while searching this is what I added to my ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/settings.ini file to get this working:

[Settings]
gtk-icon-theme-name = breeze
gtk-theme-name = breeze
