Dear Maintainer,

when I open avogadro on my debian sid gnome on wayland session, I get a black, unreadable window. If I open a session with
ssh -X localhost
and then open avogadro there, forcing it to go through the X compatibility layer, it opens correctly.
I already tried wiping out all configuration and reinstalling the debian package from scratch, but the problem persists.
I don't know if the problem is in avogadro itself or in how qt tries to use wayland, or in wayland itself.
Please let me know if there is something I can test to help debug this.

Best regards,
Giacomo Mulas
