Description Morgan Leijström 2023-04-13 12:06:11 CEST 
Description of problem:
Cannot select X11/Wayland for Plasma

Version: lightdm-1.32.0-1

Steps to Reproduce:
Install plasma, incl wayland components, use LightDM
See the DE selection only contain one "Plasma"
Compare to dropdown in SDDM which list "Plasma (X11)" and Plasma "(Wayland)"

LightDM correctly show all different GNOME variants.

Assigning to registered packager

While at it, I noticed that in the dropdown for selecting DE, shows a symbol represented the selected DE.  For Gnome ther is the foot, for XFCEit shows "XF", but Plasmaand IceWM shows a tool symbol, I guess icons are missing for them (and maybe more)

The "Plasma" it lists is selecting the X11 variant

Summary: LightDM menu list only one Plasma, not X11/Wayland variants => LightDM menu list only one Plasma, which is X11, and not the also installed Wayland variant
