The LXQt team has announced the release of two point updates for their components. ScreenGrab 3.0 has been updated to provide support for screenshots on Wayland compositors that implement the wlr-screencopy-unstable-v1 protocol. A command-line option is also provided for saving screenshots and exiting without displaying the window. The lxqt-panel 2.2.1 release is now fully operational under Wayland compositors that are compatible with wlroots and includes support for window minimizing. Solutions for the issues with kwin_wayland and Qps 2.11.1 address the initial launch of Qps in the absence of a configuration file.
