Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
upgrade to Debian 12.6
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I upgraded to Debian 12.6. My laptop has a key Fn F9 (the gear) which
brings up Gnome Settings. As a result of the upgrade, something
strange happened. Sometimes when I press Fn F9 I get the standard
Gnome Settings menu. But sometimes I get a differnt Plasma System
Settings menu that just has Appearance, Network, Settings, Hardware,
and KDE Connect. The standard Gnome Settings appears to be a program
called gnome-control-center. The alternate undesired menu appears to
be a program called systemsettings.
First, behavior should be deterministic. Second, Fn F9 should run
gnome-control-center, not systemsettings.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Fn F9 (the gear) nondeterministically runs either gnome-control-center
or systemsettings.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Always run gnome-control-center.
