Terminal splitting no longer works on latest version of Konsole

[devAL3X]

Bug

I have pwntools v4.15.0 and konsole 25.12.1 installed.

When I try to execute:

p = gdb.debug(["./chall"])

It splits the terminal but does not launch gdb.
The original (left) tab says:

[DEBUG] Launching a new terminal: ['/usr/bin/qdbus', ':1.52', '/Sessions/7', 'org.kde.konsole.Session.runCommand', '/tmp/tmpmt45878h']

If I try to execute:

/usr/bin/qdbus :1.52 /Sessions/7 org.kde.konsole.Session.runCommand /tmp/tmpmt45878h

manually, it says:

Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied
Security sensitive DBus API is disabled in the settings.

Workaround

Go to Konsole Settings -> Configure Konsole... -> General and enable the EnableSecuritySensitiveDBusAPI checkbox.

It seems that this is a security feature by Konsole? Perhaps pwntools can not fix this problem. Anyway, I've already switched to tmux.

[devAL3X]

Yes, it seems so. Perhaps there's an alternative way to handle this, or maybe it's worth mentioning this workaround in docs.

Could help improve the docs here? You could catch the error and print a better help message with instructions on how to fix it.
