Vivaldi deskop launcher not operating, but command line environment can launch browser

[jr1221]

Describe the bug

Run vivaldi and it opens. Select vivaldi on desktop and it does not.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install nix unstable with kde6 and plasma wayland
2. Setup your nix config like so: (vivaldi.override { enableWidevine = true; proprietaryCodecs = true; commandLineArgs = [ "--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform" "--ozone-platform=wayland" "--ozone-platform-hint=auto" "--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations" ]; })
   and

  environment.sessionVariables.NIXOS_OZONE_WL = "1"; # for electron wayland

3. Observe the package opens on command line, but cannot launch on .desktop file. Even when I copy and paste the exec line from the file it works, as well as using xdg-open. It only fails when run from the KDE launcher.

Expected behavior

Since both ways run the same binary wrapper, I want them to apply the same things to vivaldi. However, my guess is the environment PATH or variables differ between the command line and desktop file.

Additional context

Vivaldi is finnicky with qt6, wayland, and pretty much everything haha. However the real problem here is the difference in behavior between the command line and desktop file.

I also tried the ksyscoca6 hack and xdg-desktop-menu forceupdate. There is no terminal output from vivaldi when it fails to launch.
