I use pcmanfm-qt in plasma in "--desktop" mode, so that pcmanfm-qt "becomes" the desktop. Now i want pcmanfm's menu to be exposed to global menu, while pcmanfm only renders the desktop but no window is opended. How can this be done? What files in plasma and/or pcmanfm need to be patched and how?

What i found out so far: There is a project - RavynOS- that aims on building a free, osx compatible OS. RavynOS uses a filemanager called Filer, https://github.com/mszoek/Filer (It is forked from pcmanfm-qt). This filemanager can also work as desktopmanager. It behaves just like the osx-finder. It runs on plasma x11 and wayland and it exposes its menu to global menu while all windows are closed and only desktop is active.
Filer still has two issues. On x11 it would prevent plasma from logout or shutdown. In a wayland session it would not autorotate the desktop correctly (but that is important only if running on a convertible or tablet)
