STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install the flatpak version (https://invent.kde.org/system/xwaylandvideobridge/-/jobs/1290531) on GNOME 45 2. attempt to start from terminal emulator 3. OBSERVED RESULT Crashes with this output: ``` qt.qpa.xcb: could not connect to display qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Available platform plugins are: eglfs, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, wayland-egl, wayland, wayland-xcomposite-egl, wayland-xcomposite-glx, xcb. ``` SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Fedora Linux 39 with GNOME 45.0
This warning means it failed to connect to the X server. This is going to be a setup issue. Does loading xterm or something work? Is the flatpak being restrictedto the X server (see flatseal)?

By default the Flatpak appears to be limited to just the x11 socket, but I had already added those overrides to allow the wayland and fallback-x11 sockets too. Xterm (and all other Xwayland apps I've tried) run fine under wayland it just seems to be XWaylandVideoBridge that keeps crashing with this error.

It appears precisely that was what was causing this crash. Now however it is throwing "failed to create session" every time it is run. I apologise for wasting your time.
