Description Martin Birgmeier 2025-03-08 07:57:00 UTC 
Scenario:
- FreeBSD stable/14 ca. Feb. 1
- ports latest
- Last port upgrade ca. Jan 30 (before kde was moved to qt6)
- Upgrading ports using portmaster on a build machine
- Running pkg repo on the build machine
- Upgrading ports on a client machine using pkg upgrade
- There are rules in .config/kwinrulesrc which place windows with certain strings in their title on specific desktops when they are created

Result:
- The rules are not obeyed. All such windows appear on the current desktop.
- If one tries to redefine such a rule, it gets added to .config/kwinrulesrc, but then kwin crashes (and is automatically restarted); it then still fails to interpret any of the rules, including the new one.

Expected result:
- kwin should honor the rules in .config/kwinrulesrc
- kwin should not crash when adding a new rule
