 ====
 As of May, 2021, plasma5-kwin does support Wayland on FreeBSD.
 To use Plasma under Wayland, use the `startplasma-wayland` parameter to `ck-launch-session` and tie in dbus with:
-`ck-launch-session dbus-run-session startplasma-wayland`
+`dbus-launch --exit-with-x11 ck-launch-session startplasma-wayland`
 to get it working.
