Description of problem:
After my latest `dnf update` kitty no longer has a Gnome-style titlebar and on my laptop the window also scales all weird when logged into a Wayland session, like it's very tall so it runs off the bottom of the screen and also way wider than it should be (scaling seems to be ok on my desktop but the titlebar is still messed up)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.20.1 (upgraded from 0.19.3)

How reproducible:
Both Wayland-compatible machines I tried

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade kitty to 0.20.1
2. Login to a Wayland session
3. Open kitty

Actual results:
kitty has a weird titlebar and weird scaling

Expected results:
kitty opens as it should with normal titlebar and the usual 80x25 size

Additional info:
Still works fine with legacy X11 session

Please disregard, it appears this is not a bug but a feature:

>They arent gone they are just not native. If you want native set linux_display_server to x11 in kitty.conf which was what it used to default to.

Closing but please do consider the possibility this change may be disruptive to Wayland users. I'm not sure how one addresses this; perhaps documentation and/or include a config file in the package? Godspeed!
