Three bug fixes. Nothing to do after updating.

Vice no longer fails to record after a boot on X11 (#231)

On some X11 sessions Vice starts before the desktop has told systemd where its X login cookie is. gpu-screen-recorder was then refused by X, gave up, and failed with "failed to create window", and retrying never helped because the daemon kept the environment it started with. Vice now picks up the session's environment again before each retry, so the recorder starts on its own once the desktop is up. If X refuses the recorder anyway, the error now says that instead of the generic message. Thanks to afonya2 for the report.

Renaming a clip in the trim dialog waits until you close it (#226)

Renaming from the trim dialog renamed the file immediately, which reloaded the clip and threw away the selection you had made. The new name now shows straight away and is applied when the dialog closes, after the trim if you save one. Renaming a clip also keeps its thumbnail and preview instead of rebuilding them, which mattered most for H.265 clips. Thanks to thebrightspark for the report.

The installer builds gpu-screen-recorder 6.1.3 (#154)

install.sh now builds gpu-screen-recorder 6.1.3, and running it again upgrades an older source build. 6.1.2 fixed a security issue in gpu-screen-recorder's privileged helper. If your copy came from your distro's package manager, the installer leaves it alone and tells you to update it there. Systems with FFmpeg 4 (Ubuntu 22.04) stay on 5.12.5, since 6.x does not build there. The AUR package is unaffected, as it uses the AUR gpu-screen-recorder. Thanks to dec05eba for pointing at the change in 6.1.3 that may fix the MP4 files in #154.

Install: yay -Syu vice-clipper, then open Vice. For install.sh, run it again.
