Canonical being silly again - Can this not be in Kubuntu, please?

but kdialog simply isn't working at this point

I have a very simple kdialog script and that's working in a clean Kubuntu 18.04 install.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

time=$(kdialog --title "Input dialog" --inputbox "Enter a number (minutes)"  2>/dev/null)

find ~/ \
! -name ".xsession-errors" \
! -name "katerc" \
! -name "kwinrulesrc" \
! -name "katemetainfos" \
! -name "dolphinrc" \
! -name ".bash_history" \
! -name "recently-used.xbel" \
...
-cmin -$time -type f -ls

where the ...

is just a long list of more excluded paths.

I felt that was off-topic and not really worth expanding on at this point. On this new install, trying to add an image to a post using Vivaldi browser opens the kdialog window file selector. It just "spins" for longer than I'm willing to wait it out - over a minute.

Just tried again - over three minutes then the mouse pointer stopped spinning, but as soon as I tried to change folders, it began again. Nothing in "top" or "iotop" shows any actually actions are happening. I'ts broken.
