[xcrysden] xcrysden not starting with fedora 34 (gnome 40)

[Gavin Abo]

Yeah, you may have to just use Xorg.

FYI, I just using onboard Intel for video, which should be using mesa 
[1].If the computer is using different video such an AMD or Nvidia video 
card, there may be some limitations with Wayland and the video card 
driver [2] or maybe their could be compile settings that would need 
adjusted for the video card [4] in Togl2 and xcrysden.
