All right - but this may take a while. I am not in a position to go tinkering with computers at the moment.

 > Bug description:
 > [Impact]
 >
 > Manuskript is an open-source tool for writers. Its main purpose is
 > writing novels, books, and the like. It does not have any reverse
 > dependencies.
 >
 > In Ubuntu 22.04 and presumably all flavors thereof (at least Lubuntu),
 > the Manuskript package is currently entirely broken. Attempting to
 > launch it from its button in the application menu does nothing, while
 > attempting to launch it from a terminal results in a very messy error
 > message, which is detailed more thoroughly in the original bug report.
 > This renders Manuskript entirely unusable.
 >
 > This patch backports the following Git commit to the existing version
 > of Manuskript in Ubuntu:
 > https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript/commit/15edb6efb7305b9d1a192712660857ca38facace
 > This appears to fix the problem in my testing.
 >
 > Those who have Manuskript already installed on their systems currently
 > are unable to use it at all, from my testing. Those who have
 > Manuskript installed already should be able to use Manuskript again
 > after this upgrade is installed.
 >
 > [Test Plan]
 >
 >   1. Install Ubuntu 22.04 or 22.10 into a virtual machine, or use an existing installation thereof.
 >   2. Fully update the new installation (sudo apt update && sudo apt -y full-upgrade)
 >   3. Install the current version of Manuskript (sudo apt install manuskript)
 >   4. Attempt to launch the program from the terminal - the error message described in the original bug report should appear.
 >   5. Enable -proposed and install the new version of Manuskript from -proposed.
 >   6. Attempt to launch Manuskript from the terminal - it should launch successfully this itme.
 >   7. Create a new Manuskript project, make sure that Markdown highlighting works, and
 >   8. Attempt to open the saved project. The saved changes should appear.
 >
 > [Where problems could occur]
 >
 > A typo or malformed line in the patch could potentially result in
 > Manuskript being still unable to launch, or cause strange behavior
 > with the modified code (which appears to deal with colors, and so
 > would likely cause colors somewhere to look wrong). The above test
 > plan will catch major failures, and careful checking of the code (by
 > making sure my patch matches with the upstream commit) should ensure
 > that colors don't end up messed up.

 > Original bug report:
 >
 > On Wayland it warns about it not liking Wayland before crashing; on
 > Xorg it immediately crashes on the unhandled exception:
