This has to be tested with this file added to the current theme and making a new user account on at least Plasma 6.5.90 or higher.

This script can be debugged by running it in plasma-interactiveconsole

should look like this:

instead of this broken default layout (the blank icon is dicsover):

So this works for new users, but if you upgrade from 6.5.5 from the old config setup (with no changes to this one it's gonna be like the 2nd one shown above and be the default KDE setup, might probably want to respin ISOs at least so it's not broken by default after you reboot into the first update.

If I understand you correctly, you are saying that once this PR is merged and we respin ISOs, then there will not be an issue anymore, correct?

Yes, as this only runs on first user setup and is basically incompatible with the way we were doing it before.
