Log from ghostwriter. The error messages are repeating for as long as the program is active.

SUMMARY
When using ghostwriter under a Wayland session with an NVIDIA graphics card, the preview pane is blank. In the console, ghostwriter complains about setting up an EGL context. This can be seen in the attached logs. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE with Wayland or open Weston
2. Open terminal
3. Unset XWayland display `unset DISPLAY`
3. Run `ghostwriter`
  a. Add `-platform wayland` flag if using Weston
4. Type anything into the editor

OBSERVED RESULT
Preview pane is empty.

EXPECTED RESULT
Typed content will appear inside a preview pane.
