Saving a file as .txt in sandboxed Kwrite causes KService to crash, which in turn resets default applications and some applications such as Konsole and Strawberry disappearing (their .desktop file specifically), producing a "Plasma Workspace - Unknown application folder" error when launching them from the panel.
Steps to Reproduce
Have Firejail sandbox Kwrite (should be default in firecfg.config).
Enter Kwrite, write whatever, and make sure to save it as a .txt file on the Desktop or Documents folder.
This should now crash KService and cause default applications to be reset along with the aforementioned .desktop file malfunctions.
Expected behavior
KWrite to save the text file successfully WITHOUT causing KService to act up.
Actual behavior
KWrite does save the file, but KService acts up.
Behavior without a profile
The program works as expected and no issues with KService are produced.
Additional context
Running kbuildsycoca6 --noincremental fixes the problem confirming it is an issue with Firejail and KService.
Environment
Name/version/arch of the Linux kernel (uname -srm): Linux 6.12.8-lune x86_64 (I run my own kernel, but happens on default Arch one too)
Name/version of the Linux distribution (e.g. "Ubuntu 20.04" or "Arch Linux"): Arch Linux
Version of Firejail (firejail --version): 0.9.72 (from official Arch repos)
If you use a development version of firejail, also the commit from which it
was compiled (git rev-parse HEAD): -
Checklist
The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
