A proper sandbox would just block dbus or filter it so I called it container without security connotations :) It's not like klauncher is the only dbus interface that have exploitation potential. For my needs it was perfect fit that improves the workflow.

There is org.kde.krunner interface which could be used instead but it requires passing
QVariantMap as one of args and this can't be done through cmdline.

Assuming kinit will be gone for kf6, what would be the replacement for org.kde.klauncher dbus interface?

I think you may leave ifdef here but set:

qputenv("QT_ENABLE_HIGHDPI_SCALING", "0");

if it's false as QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR is deprecated since qt 5.14.

Also not sure if useful but since kio is getting support for writting to "root owned" files we should investigate if maybe we can just simply drop this code altogether?

@chinmoyr makes editable root owned files in Kate/KWrite, through KAuth (if i'm not wrong) is he there a plans to do so for Dolphin? Is here applicable this method?
