pdfpc and kwin

Hi,

has anyone managed to get pdfpc working in plasma?  As of recent versions (>4.0.5, I think) the "audience window" doesn't appear on the secondary screen, so no presentation

On the pdfpc github there's some mention of this, and folk are pointed to the readme, which says

Windows do not appear on the correct screen.

For tiling window managers, the movement and fullscreening of the windows do not work reliable. It is therefore important to tell your WM to force floating the pdfpc windows.

If you are using i3-wm add this to your config file:

for_window [ title="^pdfpc - present" ] border none floating enable

I know that kwin isn't a "tiling window manager" but this seems to suggest that adding window specific rules in Settings->Window Management->Window Rules might help.

So, does anyone know how to translate the i3-wm rule above for kwin?  Or has anyone found another way to get pdfpc working on kwin?

Thanks in advance
