Details

Description:

* File sharing doesn't work (either way). Neither for one file, nor for multiple files. There is no response on the other side, ever.
* Device browsing doesn't work at all; it just crashes and crashes (and also takes down Dolphin most of the time).
* Remote control doesn't work with multiple monitors on the desktop (and maybe it doesn't work at all). The cursor goes haywire once it touches a screen edge.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kdeconnect 1.4-1

* config and/or log files etc.
N/A

* link to upstream bug report, if any
N/A

Steps to reproduce:
Try to use kdeconnect for just about whatever. It doesn't work.

This is not a new problem; kdeconnect has *never* worked. Ever. Anywhere. On any distro. However, considering how long it has been around, one would hope that at least some of its critical bugs would be fixed by now. So I thought it would be great to have this filed somewhere, for search engines to find and provide an early warning to those who may consider losing time with kdeconnect.
This task depends upon
