As an experiment I forked the old KGtk software, stripped out kdialogd and
replaced it with calls to libportal. This makes it desktop agnostic and
allows GTK2 apps to use portals. It also contains fixes that can be
backported to Trinity's KGtk-qt3. It's still far from stable however so I
wouldn't recommend installing it outside of testing purposes.

Hi Riley,
it looks really nice :-) Good job! One more reason to make sure we add
xdg-desktop-portal-tde for R14.1.4 (too late for
R14.1.3 probably).
Cheers

Thanks, Michele.
I'll also take a look at xdg-desktop-portal-tde itself. It's very interesting
that KDE was basically doing desktop portals before it was a thing.

Hi,
First of all, thank you for the fork. While Gtk+3 apps can be forced to use xdg desktop
portals with the help of an environment variable, AFAICT there is just no way for Gtk+2
apps. It would be a nice complement for xdg-desktop-portal-tde.
I've tried to get it working, but unfortunately I have had no success so far: starting
any Gtk2 process fails, with that process just taking up 100% of a CPU core without a
visible window (didn't test with Gtk3). Maybe I'm missing something, who knows.
Stdout (from GIMP 2.10.34 startup):
```
GTK Portal::dlsym : (0xffffffffffffffff) g_type_register_static_simple
GTK Portal::real_dlsym : g_type_register_static_simple
GTK Portal::dlsym found? 1
```
Also the wrapper does not detect the toolkit used by PaleMoon as it checks the executable
itself for linking data. In PaleMoon the gtk2 linking can be seen in libxul.so. Directly
calling gtk2-portal-wrapper also results in the bug I mentioned above.
I'll be taking a closer look later in case I find a solution. I'd like to get this
working.

I appreciate the feedback. With Palemoon I have to call it with
gtk2-portal-wrapper directly too, but I'll see if I can make the script check
libxul.so if the exe is palemoon(-bin).
I don't know what can be causing the hangup in your case, it looks like it
happens right after the first dlsym call (with debugging enabled GIMP spams
stdout with all kinds of calls during startup).
I'll push a commit later tonight as I've been doing some work toward fixing
Gtk+3 and fixed some things in Gtk+2.
