Flatpak not working with Wayland

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

When running Cinny as a Flatpak on a desktop running under Wayland (instead of X11), Cinny instantly crashes, with the following line of system log:

segfault at e0 ip 00007f5934a9b144 sp 00007f593094e6b8 error 4 in libX11.so.6.4.0[7f5934a82000+94000]

Reproduction

Run a Fedora 36 GNOME session with Wayland (which is the case per default with the default Fedora 36 flavor)
Install Cinny as a Flatpak
Try to start Cinny

At this point, Cinny does not start, and running journalctl -b | grep -i cinny I can find:

segfault at e0 ip 00007f5934a9b144 sp 00007f593094e6b8 error 4 in libX11.so.6.4.0[7f5934a82000+94000]

Expected behavior

Cinny should start without crashing.

Platform and versions

1. OS: Fedora 36, GNOME, Wayland
2. Browser: N/A (using the desktop version as a Flatpal)
3. Cinny: v2.0.3
4. Homeserver: private

Additional context

This problem does not appear with running GNOME with X11.

Workaround is to disable the fallback-x11 socket and enable the x11 socket. If you want to do it using a graphical client, this can be done using Flatseal:

However it would be the best if Cinny supports Wayland - and does not have to run through XWayland.

Until that does not happen, the sockets in the Manifest should probably be updated and pass x11 directly (instead of fallback-x11). Pinging @kfiven here 😃
