Since recent update to 5.8.1 the workaround I linked to in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19474 now works for most of my launchers.

I will do more testing.

just tested and it works.

can you confirm ?

Here it have gone worse: When i double-click the same desktop launch icons i used before to test this problem, panel and all launch icons go unresponsive. (panel do not react to mouse clicks, but updates when i close program by other means)

But i also have other weird problems like dolphin crashing sometimes when moving files between filesystems.  And in dolphin deleting a file (to trashcan)  takes between 2 and 5 seconds.  On both my mga6 systems that i use for production.

Systems have been following cauldron for a half year one of them as upgrade from mga5. Time for fresh install i guess...


Why is my ~/.xsession-errors empty ??

I will be away two weeks, can try more later

Rebooted and it is better = like before
(was a couple days since reboot so maybe there was an disturbing update)

Basically: no still no go

Workaround by putting the command in "" like Barry suggest above works, i.e 
"ls -l"
 works, but not 
ls -l


BTW two bugs i think have always seen in plasma5:

1) when i right click desktop > Create new launch icon, etc, the icon is not visible until i manually update desktop by using the top left desktop menu thingy.

2) when i right click a launch item and select Properties (or what it is in english), that dialog is minimised; have to click it in the panel for it to pop up.

Still valid here.

BTW, the workaround to put the command in "" do not work if i also set it to run as other user, root.
