Bug report

Bug description:

# Add a code block here, if required

i apologies if this is the incorrect location for this; the solution to the problem is below;

Section 1: Problem Statement

Tk 8.6 + XWayland + Wayfire = XWayland session corruption
IDLE3 works once per session, fails on subsequent launches
Symptoms: black window, no frame, no interaction

Section 2: Workaround (Tk 8.6)

Desktop file modification: kill XWayland before launch
Working solution but requires XWayland restart overhead

Section 3: Proper Solution (Tk 9.0)

Native Wayland support via --enable-wayland
Eliminates XWayland dependency entirely
No session corruption possible
Clean, maintainable, future-proof

Section 4: Build Instructions

Prerequisites: wayland, wayland-protocols, libxkbcommon
Tcl 9.0 build
Tk 9.0 build with --enable-wayland

currently on Linux Fedora 42 in a Wayland; Wayfire; wf-shell; wf-panel; environment with GDM disabled;

this solves the current problem; Exec=sh -c 'killall Xwayland 2>/dev/null; sleep 0.5; python3 -m idlelib' %F

CPython versions tested on:

3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Linux

there is no workable fix; after the initial window opens; with the window open; the same problems happens again the instant you open a another window to do anything; the only option in a pure wayland environment is not to have any X11 requirements; the only fix is Tcl 9.0 and Tk 9.0 flagged for Wayland;

This seems like an issue upstream, please report it in their tracker.
