1) RStudio can't be broken in Wayland, because RStudio never supported Wayland in the first place.
2) What we do is to prepend "env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb" to tell Qt that this application does not support Wayland (see `cat /usr/share/applications/rstudio.desktop`)

And that should work. And it works on my end, I can't reproduce the issue. So I'm not sure what issue you may be hitting (maybe Gnome is not honoring the Exec line in the .desktop file?), but I'm afraid there's nothing more we can do in the RStudio package.

Comment 2 Basil Eric Rabi 2020-10-30 00:41:15 UTC

I installed a bunch of rpms then now rstudio opens in wayland. Maybe some package is needed for Qt apps not supporting wayland to run in wayland. Thank you for packaging this.

Thanks for the report. I'd suggest to push upstream for a better Wayland support.
