-Judge me, I prefer Dolphin to the absolutely joke that Caja is. Now, you may want to curse me because «WeLl, IT's aN OpEN soUrCe ProJeCT, ConTRiBuTe YOuRsElf»-kind of argument and be absolutely right. But I lack the time and energy, so I just use Dolphin instead and complain online about Caja. KDE 5's Dolphin used to work **very well** on MATE. Then I gave the order: told comrade `apt` to upgrade my ancient Debian Bookworm to Debian Trixie. Of course, Dolphin is now broken. In order to un-fuck it, I had to research a bit. And since I'm 100% going to forget what I did, we have this present article to remind me on how I fixed it — _NO! Documenting? I know, right?_ +Since Caja has it's issues, I tend to prefer Dolphin. And KDE 5's Dolphin used to work **very well** on MATE. Then I gave the order: told comrade `apt` to upgrade my ancient Debian Bookworm to Debian Trixie. Of course, Dolphin is now broken — or rather it's compatibility towards MATE.

 +I should imagine KDE devs. won't exactly jump at the chance of making it work with it's «competing» DE, so I'm still trying to fix it with little success. This article is certainly a testament to my failure.

 You click any file, it opens a file dialog asking what program to use, and lists no program. You have to type the command manually. It seems to be related to broken XDG stuff, [according to Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1bd313p/dolphin_not_recognizing_file_associations/), letting `kbuilsycoca6` daemon run seems to have solved the problem.  You click any file, it opens a file dialog asking what program to use, and lists no program.

 +## Fuckerie Number III: Telegram icon vanishes from the systray
 +
 +While this isn't technically Dolphin's fault, I'm gonna put it into it's tab because Dolphin can't do shit without launching `kded6`. Then, `kded6` proceeds to register KNotification interface on DBus, which Telegram seems eager to bind to and will immediately send the systray icon there. And, since I'm using MATE (GTK-stuff), that crap just vanishes from the systray. 
 +
 +Killing `kded6` makes the icon reappear, but once you do as little as opening a file on Dolphin, it will relaunch `kded6`.
