Flatpak not working with Wayland
See original GitHub issueDescribe 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.

should be fixed in 2.2.0
Workaround is to disable the![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/52456572/170562944-0257a702-0d50-4e8f-86f2-6cc8eb280b06.png)
fallback-x11
socket and enable thex11
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 😃
