Liam:

I understand that Xfce4 doesn't use Wayland, but the following packages
have been pulled in by something over time:

kwayland-data
kwayland-integration
libkf5waylandclient5
libnvidia-egl-wayland1
libqt5waylandclient5
libqt5waylandcompositor5
libqt6waylandclient6
libqt6waylandcompositor6
libqt6waylandeglclienthwintegration6
libqt6waylandeglcompositorhwintegration6
libva-wayland2
libwayland-client0
libwayland-cursor0
libwayland-egl1
libwayland-server0
qt6-wayland
qtwayland5
wayland-protocols

I'm not saying that Wayland proper is running, but I do wonder if some
other program is using Wayland components in some way.  And I'm not even
saying that I have any clue that Wayland is involved at all; that's just
what other have mentioned when I tried to research this problem.

In any case, other people are also experiencing the same thing and if anyone
does have any ideas, I'd be interested in hearing them.
