Comment 6 SigHunter 2022-07-01 07:57:04 UTC
for me, this problem went away after I made sure the gentoo USE flag USE=wayland is set globally for all packages and recompiling the concerning packages

[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/vulkan-loader-1.3.216  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] x11-libs/libxkbcommon-1.4.1  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] dev-qt/qtgui-5.15.5  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.34  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/libsdl2-2.0.20-r1  USE="wayland* gles2*" 
[ebuild   R    ] kde-frameworks/kguiaddons-5.95.0  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] x11-misc/appmenu-gtk-module-0.7.3-r2  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] media-video/mpv-0.34.1-r1  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] app-misc/fastfetch-1.5.5  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] mail-client/thunderbird-bin-91.11.0  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] www-client/firefox-bin-102.0  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] kde-frameworks/plasma-5.95.0-r4  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] kde-plasma/oxygen-5.25.2  USE="wayland*" 
[ebuild   R    ] media-video/vlc-3.0.17.4  USE="wayland*" 

Not sure which package of those made it go away, but now the start menu opens on the left bottom, like it should!
(it's not my bug report, so I can't/won't close it)
