Bug Description

Apparently there's a bug in flameshot causing it not to start.

I can see the app running using `ps -ef | grep flameshot` but the icon in the toolbar just won't appear.

There was a bug report and a github discussuion in August (https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot/issues/223) and it appears that the issue got fixed afterwards.

The release in 18.04 (0.5.1-2) dates back to March, so the fix isn't included.

Please update the flameshot package for 18.04.

Same on Ubuntu 19.10 - It was working up until recently however. Error I'm given is: 'Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.'
