Bug Description

Git Version: 2.4-alpha-1131-g02150fa2b6 (HEAD)
Linux Kernel: 5.16.15-201

Right after opening Mixxx, the waveform and cover art on the spindles are blank, or will show the image of the last item that was on screen (Mixxx interface will show up, but it'll show the last visible image from the computer screen).

Music can be played, and still blank images on waveform and track spindle.

The image in is my desktop background.

This is unfortunately an issue with how Qt, XServer/Wayland and our waveforms work. As a workaround, start mixxx as `mixxx -platform xcb`. This only applies to Linux.
See the troubleshooting docs for more in-depth info: https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/wiki/troubleshooting#mixxx-on-wayland
