Gdk-Message: 13:40:44.473: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
Expected behavior
zuno should start normally without producing a Wayland protocol error.
Actual behavior
The application reports:
Gdk-Message: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
This occurs during the application's startup sequence, shortly after the frontend bootstrap begins.
Environment
- OS: Linux
- Desktop Environment: KDE Plasma
- Display server: Wayland
- Application:
zuno
- NVIDIA driver: latest available for the system
- Distribution: CachyOS (rolling release)
Additional information
There is also a deprecation warning from libayatana-appindicator:
libayatana-appindicator is deprecated.
Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code.
I am not sure whether this warning is related to the Wayland protocol error, but it appears immediately before the application startup logs.
The main issue I would like investigated is the Gdk-Message: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display error.
