[fedora-arm] Re: Questions to Fedora on Pinebook Pro

I revisited this, and I'm still seeing some issues on GNOME/Wayland on
Pinebook Pro, but not quite the same ones that I remember or that
Andreas reported.

1. Fresh boot (just to be sure)
2. Select "GNOME" session (Wayland)
3. Open KeepassXC or Thunderbird
4. Application name appears next to "Activities" with a spinner; the
spinner never goes away, and the main window never appears.
5. If I click the "X" in the task switcher for the application, the "X"
disappears as if a window was closed, but the white dot under the big
icon at the bottom never does.

I took some screenshots in case that description is unclear, but I
didn't attach them. I didn't see any way to resize the invisible/missing
window, but maybe I overlooked a technique.

Some other applications I tried (Firefox, gnome-terminal) worked fine,
and everything works as expected in X11.

If I have a chance I'll try this again with strace. Right now I'm not
sure to which component this bug belongs.
