[HOWTO] Start to customise /e/

Are there downsides to an alternative launcher?

It has been reported from time to time that /e/ users have a problem with an alternative launcher.

One typical failure is the notification

Trebuchet keeps stopping

as seen in this hidden screenshot

This error was seen with the Kiss launcher installed on a default /e/ e-1.2

A variation on this behaviour was seen in the following [Solved] thread where maybe an update caused Kiss to change from satisfactory to problematic.

Why is this happening?

Some keywords / phrases to search for answers:

The inclusion in the /e/ build of Trebucet aka Launcher3 (com.android.launcher3)
QuickStep (com.android.quickstep)
The mechanism employed by launchers to provide horizontal scrolling
