SUMMARY
When I start KRFB under Plasma Wayland it asks me (every single time) to give permission to it to capture the screen, when I consent everything feels laggy and slow until I close KRFB. I usually have it start automatically at login and, while there's also the problem of the dialog box showing up all the time, the whole desktop environment becomes unbearably laggy when KRFB runs even when nothing is connected to the remote desktop.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log into Plasma under Wayland
2. Start KRFB
3. Authorize the screensharing

OBSERVED RESULT
It makes the whole desktop environment lag.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should run normally like on X.Org.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch Linux with the zen kernel 6.3.5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
My graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX580 running with the open source drivers.
