ksmserver is KDE Plasma's X11 session management server and fails if Xwayland is disabled. This adds a condition to plasma-ksmserver.service, preventing it from starting if the override disabling Xwayland is detected.
This is another service that's pointless if Xwayland is disabled.

ksmserver is KDE Plasma's X11 session management server and fails if Xwayland is disabled. This adds a condition to
plasma-ksmserver.service, preventing it from starting if the override disabling Xwayland is detected.This fixes this KDE bug for secureblue in a manner independent of the upstream fix: it prevents the bug from triggering before the upstream fix is applied, and it will continue working afterward (at which point it will simply prevent the service from showing up as a failed service in
systemctl --user statusand such).Similarly, the same condition is added to
plasma-xembedsniproxy.service, whose sole purpose is X11 compatibility and is therefore pointless with Xwayland disabled.I did not apply the same override to two other services that currently fail with Xwayland disabled,
plasma-gmenudbusmenuproxy.serviceandplasma-kaccess.service, because it looks like those aren't inherently tied to X11 but just haven't been made to work with Wayland yet.
