Weird!

I can run xterm. Including immediately after login, which is how I've been reproducing this Firefox issue.

I can change my hacked-up .desktop file to run "WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' libreoffice" instead, and the libreoffice window seems fine.

I can run glxgears, xeyes, and xvidtune ok :-). (Didn't bother trying those immediately after login).

The system should be clean of development or debug hacks. It's a desktop that runs Ubuntu, and I'm not the person who uses it normally. I have some setup scripts (Ansible), that mostly just install the right packages.

You might have noticed from the Launchpad bug, some reddit users reported this on June 30. The poster thought it "just started happening with Firefox 102.0". I don't know if that was the problem. On the system I have, I had it as soon as I updated to Ubuntu 22.04, which was a bit later.

Of course the Launchpad bug is only voted as "affects 4 people", so it doesn't sound like it's universal.
