[Therion] loch segmentation fault at launch

I did not pursue this during the holidays.  Now that Therion 6.3.3 is 
out, it is probably time to dig into it a bit deeper.

I downloaded Therion 6.3.3 from the git repository, compiled and 
installed it.  No errors, that all went very smoothly.

Loch still does not run in a Wayland session.  It gives a segmentation 
error and dumps core within about 2 seconds of launching.

I tried it on three different machines.  They all have the same basic 
configuration.  All three fail in the same way.

SCINU reports that Loch works in a Wayland session running on Debian 
Testing.  I am on Fedora 41.  Something is different, but I have no idea 
what it is.  Could it be a different version of xwayland?

A bit more information about my system:
