[BUG] Opening recOrder via napari -w recOrder-napari fails on xfce

[talonchandler]

napari -w recOrder-napari fails on xfce with the trace below. Does not fail on windows or macOS. This bug was introduced somewhere between before our first PyPI release and 0.1.0b4.

Workaround for now: napari then open recOrder from the plugins menu.

Workaround for now: napari then open recOrder from the plugins menu.

This raises a warning from a Qt bug. Resolved in later Qt versions but the fix has not been ported to PyQt5.

Tested recOrder-napari==0.2.1 on XFCE and Gnome and they both work.
