Hey, after using QubesOS for a bit, I wanted to switch from XFCE to KDE because it adapts better to my workflow, I have followed this: KDE (desktop environment) | Qubes OS , everything worked fine, until I rebooted, I don’t see any internet/networkmanager applet/widget and networkmanager isn’t running at all on dom0 (neither on other qubes).
Any ideas what the issue could have been here? What should I do? Just enable NM?
Thanks in advance!

#… ## Qubes OS release
4.2rc1, updated with current-testing including:
kde-settings-qubes-5.12.3-8
plasma-breeze-qubes-5.12.3-8
### Brief summary
After installing and switching to KDE in dom0, none of the Qubes widgets such as _qui-domains_ and _qui-devices_ are visible/usable.
Note that KDE now defaults to Wayland and this issue does not occur when selecting an X11 session.
### Steps to reproduce
Install KDE: `sudo qubes-dom0-update kde-settings-qubes`
Also make the changes for lightdm->sddm.
On edit: Also select 'Wayland' session when logging in.
### Expected behavior
Qubes widgets appear when logging in to desktop.
### Actual behavior
Somewhat normal KDE startup, except no Qubes widgets (and the App Launcher appears in the center of the screen, not near the widget). They are not listed under the hidden menu, and configuring systray doesn't list any Qubes widgets. The standard KDE widgets are present.

Hey!
Indeed! Switching from wayland to X11 as described in the issue worked.
Thanks for pointing out, I should have checked there in the first place.
