</span>Elektra implements DE detection in <a href="https://www.libelektra.org/plugins/desktop" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.libelektra.org/<wbr>plugins/desktop</a><br>
and we gladly accept desktop icons detection. It would give the desired<br>
features (e.g. notification via <a href="https://www.libelektra.org/plugins/dbus" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.libelektra.org/<wbr>plugins/dbus</a>) and<br>
the plugin could implement fallbacks in the case nobody writes into the KDB.<br>
<br>
Btw. why didn't you suggest dbus?<br>
<br>
