On a headless KDE appliance, libei input injection silently failed: the EIS socket comes from the
xdg RemoteDesktop portal, which never came up, and even up it would pop an unanswerable "Allow
remote control?" dialog. Three fixes in run-headless-kde.sh, all idempotent + safe on the dev box:
- Reach graphical-session.target: xdg-desktop-portal is ordered behind it and its start job fails
without it, but a headless linger session never gets there and Fedora's target has
RefuseManualStart=yes — drop that in once, then start the target.
- Start the portal with `start` (the old `try-restart` is a no-op when inactive — the first-boot
case), so it actually comes up.
- Pre-seed the RemoteDesktop grant: vendor the `kde-authorized` permission-store GVariant DB and
copy it to ~/.local/share/flatpak/db/ (never clobbering an existing one), so the portal grants
RemoteDesktop without a dialog. Shipped by the RPM + .deb.
Diagnosed + fixed live on the Fedora 44 KDE box: libei devices RESUME and emit (MouseMove/keys).
