After updating the system and all the flatpaks and snaps, many of them don’t start anymore.
I’m now on TW 20260420, using XFCE.
The broken flatpaks output:
[2:0422/081644.939752:ERROR:dbus/bus.cc:408] Failed to connect to the bus: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

I found a similar report over at Fedora (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/flatpak-wont-launch-x11-apps-anymore-but-native-apps-work-with-xwayland/184792), but adding --nosocket=wayland --nosocket=fallback-x11 --socket=x11 to the flatpak command line made no change
For snaps I had a similar problem:

Which I was able to solve with the parameter --ozone-platform=x11.
Both have in common that they now want to connect to wayland, although it is not in use on Xfce.
Does anyone have an idea how to force the flatpaks into X11-mode?
