[danielmellado]

When trying to run k3x from flatpak I get a GTK traceback error.

$ flatpak run --user com.github.inercia.k3x

It seems the failure is at this line. I think I will try to use xlib and see if this is stable...

Anyway, we should surround this code for not crashing...

Just letting you know I had this same issue occur.

[WisdomWolf]

Looks like this is still an issue. I just ran into it when attempting to run the flatpak on Manjaro.

@WisdomWolf I ran into the same issue. Try disabling wayland flatpak run --user --nosocket=wayland com.github.inercia.k3x.

[FeryET]

Wayland is still a problem, and I had to remove the wayland socket from the flatpak permissions in order to execute k3x.
