qtwayland: declare proper app_id for wrapped executables
Since NixOS 21.11 it seems as if QT uses Wayland if possible[1].
However, my `pinentry-qt` flavor stopped floating because it's now
running in Wayland-mode rather than in XWayland mode where this seems to
be fine.
I wanted to add a rule to my `sway(1)`-config for that, but realized
that `pinentry` is missing an `app_id` to match:
$ swaymsg -t get_tree | jq '.nodes[2].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].app_id'
""
This is because `QWaylandWindow::initWindow()` uses the application's
`baseName` to determine the app window. Unfortunately the `baseName`
drops all chars of the filename after the first dot[2]. This means that
every wrapped Nix package (i.e. `pkgs.foo` with `$out/bin/.foo-wrapped`)
will have an empty-string as baseName because the first character of the
filename is a dot. Since we're using the `wrapQtAppsHook` quite
excessively, a lot of programs are affected by this.
In order to work around this, I implemented a small patch for
`qtwayland` that strips away the `nixpkgs`-specific `.(name)-wrapped` of
a filename if needed and then sets the `app_id` to the expected
`baseName`. This is useful to make e.g. `sway`-configs with
`for_window`[3]-expressions from other distros compatible.
With this change, the `app_id` is set as I'd expect it:
$ swaymsg -t get_tree | jq '.nodes[2].nodes[1].nodes[1].nodes[1].app_id'
"pinentry-qt"
Even though we'll need the patch to get e.g. `foo` from `.foo-wrapped`,
I decided to file a bug-report against upstream[4].

Ensure that the correct `app_id` for Wayland is set. The upstream implementation
|
||||
uses `QFileInfo::baseName()`[1] which strips everything away after the first dot.
|
||||
This means that `.foo-wrapped` has an empty `app_id` because `baseName` returns
|
||||
an empty string in this case.
|
||||
|
||||
The patch basically checks whether the program has the form `.foo-wrapped` (i.e. got
|
||||
wrapped by `makeWrapper`) and if that's the case, `foo` will be the correct `app_id`.
