I have qtwayland5 5.15.10-2+b1 installed.  I do not have XWayland
installed at all.  I'm running from within a Wayland session, using sway
1.9-1 as a compositor.

When i try to launch libreoffice using the gtk4 VCLPLUGIN, i get a
complaint that it doesn't want to launch because there is no X11 error:


```
0 dkg@alice:~$ SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk4 libreoffice
Failed to open display
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin X11 error: Can't open display:
   Set DISPLAY environment variable, use -display option
    or check permissions of your X-Server
    (See "man X" resp. "man xhost" for details)
0 dkg@alice:~$ ```

In this case, no libreoffice session starts up.

On the other hand, i get some warnings when using the qt5 plugin, but it
actually starts up with no problem:

```
0 dkg@alice:~$ SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5 libreoffice
Failed to open display
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
0 dkg@alice:~$ ```

I use other gtk applications (e.g. evince, audacity, inkscape, firefox)
in this same environment with no problems.

if it happens only with gtk4, isn't it better suited at libreoffice-gtk4?
But those are gtk3, not gtk4. No idea whether using gtk4 makes a
difference here.
