flameshot does not pop up

I only came across flameshot fairly recently but like it a lot.

Just recently it has failed to pop up when I click on its icon in LXDE.

In an effort to find out what is wrong, AI suggests running flameshot gui 2>&1.

This shows

Code:
W520# flameshot gui 2>&1
"No Flameshot translation found for C"
"No Qt translation found for C"
"No Flameshot translation found for C"
"No Qt translation found for C"
qt.qpa.theme.gnome: dbus reply error: [ "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" ] "The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files"
qt.qpa.theme.gnome: dbus reply error: [ "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" ] "The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files"
flameshot: warning: No DBus System Notification service found
flameshot: error: Could not locate the `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service
flameshot: warning: No DBus System Notification service found
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: warning: No DBus System Notification service found
flameshot: info: Screenshot aborted.

Does this mean anything to anyone?

Dbus is definitely running.
 
Works for me from the "latest" package repository (flameshot-15.0.r1).

qt.qpa.theme.gnome: dbus reply error: [ "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown" ] "The name org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop was not provided by any .service files"

Searching for "org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop" in the ports tree finds deskutils/xdg-desktop-portal:
Rich (BB code):
%  find  /usr/ports  -name  pkg-plist  -exec  grep  org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop  {} +
/usr/ports/deskutils/xdg-desktop-portal/pkg-plist:share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop.service

Though, deskutils/xdg-desktop-portal might not be the culprit, it's not installed on my system:
Code:
% pkg info | grep xdg
libxdg-basedir-1.2.2           Implementation of the XDG Base Directory specification
xdg-utils-1.2.1                Tools to allow all applications to integrate with the free desktop

There is this Archlinux thread from a web search on "warning: No DBus System Notification service found " : "[SOLVED] After update flameshot is now not taking screenshots."

Fix: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2301181#p2301181

Note: On my system, there is no ~/.config/flameshot/flameshot.ini in the user account the app is launched from.
