Hi,

With sway 1.12 greetd fails to start with wlgreet, with following error:

    thread 'main' panicked at src/app.rs:474:14:
    called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Custom { kind: Other, error: "Dispatch for object wl_shm@6 errored." }
    note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace


In case it matters, sway 1.12 works fine when started from a tty.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Quack,

I got the same problem but forgot to send a message upstream, thanks for
the reminder :-).

Someone reported it already and I sent the backtrace. I don't understand
how all this works and the problem did not look obvious to me, so let's
hope upstream will be responsive.

Regards.
