Ah, that's the part I had been missing. So, without that wrapper (or
manual user config), kf5-osx-integration simply does nothing, right?
And you're already adding the wrapper for all KF5-ports.

Then, why not just make all ports of kf5 applications depend on it, and
get sane behavior out of the box, without pushing the responsiblity to
read up on all this to the user?

Sure, I suppose a select few KF5-applications may want to play
different on Mac, but then _those_ would be special cased, while all
others will "just work".
