Description Billy 2022-06-07 16:54:02 UTC 
SUMMARY

Running this script works well on KDE using x11 it gives an error calling CreateSession:

Note: both backends seem to work in gnome.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use x11 backend on KDE
2. Run the script
2. Check the error

"Failed to create session: 2"

EXPECTED RESULT
Screen cast working as it does on the wayland backend
