Research direction

Start with hypnotix.py and inspect the Wayland-related environment handling shown in the issue. Trace how the application selects its display backend, then verify that Hypnotix starts and operates in KDE full Wayland without requiring X11 compatibility.

Description

i was using an hypnotix appimage and it would not start under kde6 full wayland, after contacting the appimage maintainer for support i realised that it was not an appimage issue at all and rather a wayland issue, as the code in hypnotix.py

# Force X11 on a Wayland session if "WAYLAND_DISPLAY" in os.environ: os.environ["WAYLAND_DISPLAY"] = ""

requires an X11 backend running and full wayland does not have this.
for the time being i have started it in plasma wayland (x11 compat) and its working fine, but my question is,
Can hypnotix be updated for full wayland as kde is going full wayland at some point as far as i have read ?
