Research direction

Start by reproducing the GTKWave launch failure and inspect the attached screenshot for the DXGI error details. The issue names no source files, tests, or environment information, so document the operating system and installation context first; done means identifying a reproducible cause and confirming that GTKWave launches without the reported error.
