Hi! If I make a file to start qjackctl:

#!/bin/bash
qjackctl

...it works fine from the CLI. If I start it with krunner or assign it to a hotkey in KDE, it starts strangely: the sys tray icon is preent, and the right-click context menu for the icon appears (although usually it takes a long time to appear, sometimes 10 seconds or more), and the items in the context menu change state (e.g. the checkbox appears and remains if I enable "Graph") but no window ever appears, I can't quit qjackctl, etc. Nothing strange appears in the logs:

Jul 20 10:27:57 mycomputer kwin_wayland_wrapper[30965]: Omitting both --window and --windowclass arguments is not recommended
Jul 20 10:27:57 mycomputer systemd[1663]: Started app-qjackctl-5e41eada79da44df9382c144558b983f.scope - qjackctl.
Jul 20 10:27:57 mycomputer kded5[1799]: Registering ":1.229/StatusNotifierItem" to system tray

However, if I redirect stdout like this:

#!/bin/bash
qjackctl > /tmp/blah

...everything works as normal.

Debian 12, KDE Plasma 5.27.5, Qt 5.15.8, Wayland
