Double Commander changes due to gnome-terminal:

1. Change xterm in Configuration -> Terminal to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal --command {command}
2. Change *.srr File Association in Configuration to Command: !{SHELL} and parameters to "/usr/bin/python /home/lmaly/.local/bin/srr.py %D/%f -i %D -o %D"

If screen sharing does not work in Wayland, going to chrome://flags/#enable-webrtc-pipewire-capturer and enabling WebRTC PipeWire support should fix it.

To remove annoying GNOME Keyring popup when starting Chrome/Chromium in user autologin scenario, delete these two files before starting Chrome/Chromium for the first time:

rm -f /home/lmaly/.local/share/keyrings/login.keyring
rm -f /home/lmaly/.local/share/keyrings/user.keystore
