Bug Description

I'm running Ubuntu 23.10 with GNOME 45 using Wayland, and I've installed Shutter using APT. When I try to run shutter, I get this error:

$ shutter

Could you please test with https://codeload.github.com/shutter-project/shutter/zip/refs/heads/fix_wayland_crash_on_launch please?

Just unpack it somewhere and run from the ./bin subdirectory.

That worked! Thank you, and thank you for all your work on Shutter!

I had to run `sudo apt install shutter libmoo-perl` to install the dependencies that it needs, but that is expected.

It would be nice if applications like Shutter displayed an error dialog to the user, rather than just crashing silently. For users who aren't used to the terminal, it can be baffling when launching an application does nothing, not even an error dialog.

You are completely right, but this was an error, which nobody expected, thus no error handling was available. :)
