Flatpak on Slint

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Hi everyone,


I find myself with an interesting problem.


When I open Cawbird, (a flatpak) from the Mate desktop, it works just 
fine. When I try the same from Fluxbox, the system just sits there and 
there is nothing I can do but power it down, or reboot from a tty.


Also, I installed Skype, (also a flatpak) and did add 
--force-renderer-accessibility flag in the Mate Main-Menu application. I 
can run the app in Fluxbox, but hell if I can figure how to add the 
--force-renderer-accessibility flag to it.


I am also trying to bind Skype to a keyboard shortcut. I understand how 
the .fluxbox/keys file work, but hell if I can make skype launch with 
the flag.


Warm regards,

Brandt Steenkamp
