This occurs because GTK apps make blocking calls to freedesktop portals to be displayed. If Sway is not integrated with dbus and systemd, it will not be able to communicate via the <code>org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop</code> portal. To fix this, see the [[Sway#Using NixOS|description]] of default Sway configurations earlier. Adding the following to your sway configuration, if it is not already present, may resolve the issue:

include /etc/sway/config.d/*

===dbus-issues: no icons in tray, can't open files from Nautilus with the right program===

If you're using Gnome-Apps like Nautilus on NixOS with Sway, you might run into issue with settings standard applications to open files from Nautilus (e.g. there being no way of linking PDF to your preferred PDF-reader). You might also experience tray icons not showing up in your bar.

This is fixed by running <code>dbus-update-activation-environment --all</code> after starting your session. Make it permanent by adding <code>exec dbus-update-activation-environment --all</code> to your sway config file.
