EAF apps open in a new window, instead of a buffer (Arch Linux + KDE)

[marslayr]

Describe the bug
Similar to #887, but I am on Arch Linux.

To Reproduce
Any EAF command.

Expected behavior
Open in the same window, as a buffer.

Versions (please complete the following info):

• Distro and DE/WM: Arch Linux and KDE Plasma 5.24.2 (KWin)
• Versions of Dependencies: Probably Latest, ran pacman -Syu
• M-x emacs-version: GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.31, cairo version 1.17.4) of 2022-03-03

Error logs
Please check the *eaf* buffer, if there is any error in it, paste it here.

Screenshots
Similar to #887. The new window size is also the same as the split window in Emacs.

Additional context
Any eaf app also doesn't seem to open a second time, that is, after right-clicking and clicking close

Can you try to see if this is reproducible in 27.2 or 28?

Please use emacs-git from repo archlinuxcn (see also issue archlinuxcn/repo#2613)

The emacs-git in arch repo is not follow upstream config, developers opened the pgtk option privately, and pgtk is disable by default.

Please follow patch archlinuxcn/repo@064952b to disable pgtk option, I believe EAF can works agian.

Yes, that does fix it, but it misses native-compiling.

So, I am assuming that disabling PGTK in emacs-git PKGBUILD makes it work for X?

[manateelazycat]

yes，just disable pgtk

[marslayr]

yes，just disable pgtk

Okay. Thanks! Closing.

@manateelazycat do you know if there is any plan to support pgtk in the future ?
