A few observations regarding Fedora LXQt 35

[Bhikhu]

A few observations about Fedora 35 LXQt that might be of help to the devs.

First, the official page is misleading in a way. It lists Quassel, 
FeatherPad, qpdfview, Dragon Player, Yarock as the part of the default 
distribution but none of them are there on the ISO. I mean inclusion of 
one application per task wouldn't have bloated the ISO that much, would 
it have?

Falkon ain't bad but wouldn't it be better to include Firefox as the 
default browser?

Enki the text-editor fails to launch because of some Python/QT related 
shenanigans. There aren't that many apps on the ISO, so I'm surprised 
that no one tested/QA this before it landed on the release ISO. Not 
something that you'd expect from an official spin of Fedora.

LXDM lists openbox as one of the available sessions but trying to 
selecting and logging into it, ends up freezing LXDM. Nothing happens.

These are not groundbreaking things but coming from an official spin of 
Fedora, these things are deeply disappointing. I hate to compare 
different distributions but there is Lubuntu that is an officially 
recognized spin of Ubuntu and the difference in quality of the default 
install between Fedora LXQt and Lubuntu are striking. I hope the devs 
will take this criticism positively and take a queue or two from Lubuntu 
and Fedora LXQt 36 will be a much better and professional offering than 
35. Good luck.

I also encountered the following Fedora35-LXQt-ISO issues

* Numerous "Regex version mismatch" errors in log
* Unable to play WMA files despite Gstreamer is installed (discussed in another thread)
* Couldn't find where it places GRUB config. "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg", "/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg", "/etc/grub2-efi.cfg" didn't work
* Enki doesn't generally work, produces many errors and is hard to shutdown.

Also, I see not LXDM, but SDDM in this ISO.

I have installed and am using this Fedora-LXQt-35 ISO and upgraded it into Fedora Rawhide. It appears that I have some components missing in this ISO. Qbittorrent software looks like this: http://ssr.host.ru/_xch/2022-02-21_16-47.png - icons in panel and menus are absent.

This problem is not present in other Fedora spins such as MATE. I think I have to install some package. But which one?

This helped me with qbittorent problem: https://www.linux.org.ru/forum/desktop/13175099

adwaita-qt* packages interfere here as the application tries to use KDE components, which are not installed in this spin

Thanks for sharing.

The package qbittorrent isn't installed by default for LXQt, so that 
isn't treated as a bug for the spin. You can probably check with the 
adwaita maintainer to see who should handle this by default.

More precise: the matter is in qt5ct and qt6ct as I learned here https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxmasterrace/comments/spgot2/torrent_application...

I also suggest that Featherpad is't attached as default text editor for LXQt if LXQt is installed from Fedora repos.
