Re-enable Background Permission for Flatpak

Hi, I just updooted to Bazzite 39 (hooray!). However...it appears my Flatpak permissions have either been lost/corrupted? Syncthingy now complains it has lost permission to run in the background, but I can't see how you re-allow that permission without the popup that KDE gives you. I don't really want to have to delete the user settings and such since I have quite a few folders and connections that would need reset on 3 devices each (yikes). Any ideas?

flatseal should be preinstalled

I tried disabling and re-enabling background in Flatseal and the KDE Plasma settings to no effect @KyleGospo I've also tried removing it and re-adding it to autostart (with a reboot between) and no difference.

ERROR: QNetworkReply::ConnectionRefusedError this seems like a network issue, like it can't connect to itself are there any other flatpaks withissues, or only this one?

As far as I can tell only this one @KyleGospo I might have figured it out hang on a second 
systemctl restart --user xdg-desktop-portal
systemctl restart --user xdg-desktop-portal
It's one of the myriad desktop portal issues @KyleGospo Once that restarted properly no more notification Wait...after a reboot it came back, but for an app startup after that command no notification ablobthinkzerogravity

happened to me too seems to be a common issue since the 39 builds released but it's also inconsistent and has appeared in bluefin too

What I don't understand is why a single service restart seems to resolve the problem temporarily
