Nevertheless, there is one thing surely worth doing whether the problem is reproducible, or not: as I checked, this error message is still present in the codebase:
$ rg 'resources are missing'
…
src/tabbox/tabboxhandler.cpp
273: args << QStringLiteral("--passivepopup") << i18n("The Window Switcher installation is broken, resources are missing.\n"
```
This message is clearly very unclear, so whether it is likely happen, or not, it would make sense to patch it. At the very least, adding info:
- what kind of resource is missing
- which window switcher is failing
Naively looking at tabboxhandler.cpp I have feeling that the error is reported when some QML file is invalid, so probably mentioning the name of problematic file would also make sense.
I haven't seen it for a long time, but in https:/ /bugs.debian. org/cgi- bin/bugreport. cgi?bug= 804638 last comment is from 2022.
