Screenshare is broken on Linux (KDE)

(#2314) Bug Fixed desktop video

Observed behaviour

The app will hang for around 30 seconds after clicking the "Share Your Screen" button before closing.

Join VC (DM or Community) and click the "Share Your Screen" button.
A menu will pop-up and ask for your system-level app picker, clicking this will cause a crash.

Can reproduce Confirmed, tested on my system (Arch Linux - KDE) and it behaves exactly as described, making it unusable in this build.

Duplicate of approved report #2314.
