Some plugins, such as yoshimi, will fail to run in ardour under Wayland.
The only real workaround for this is to force ardour to run in Xwayland
under a wayland session by passing FLTK_BACKEND=x11 in the Exec= line.

The only side-effect this has is that the application will no longer scale
with Wayland, but ardour does its own scaling anyhow so this shouldn't
be a factor.
