KDE/SDDM configuration

Hi,

I followed KDE (desktop environment) — Qubes OS Documentation to setup KDE in dom0. There are three points which are unclear to me:

  1. In the “Login manager” section, the documentation mentions editing /etc/sddm.conf to set a custom X parameter. However the section [XDisplay]mentioned in the Qubes documentation does not exist, but there is a [X11] section which probably could be used instead. Is [XDisplay] a mistake in the documentation or something Qubes-specific and should [X11] be used instead?
  2. The “Installation” section mentions if [ “$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP” = “KDE” ]; then in the script snippet, but echo $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP outputs plasmax11. Should KDE in the snippet get replaced by plasmax11?
  3. Should templates also be modified to contain a KDE DE package like plasma-desktop?
