Description

A handful of anonymous users have reported something along the lines of 'invalid OpenGL context' on Ubuntu 22.04 and other Wayland systems. If it's easy to do, we should have some clean way to advise them that they MUST install xwayland or use an X11 window manager, then quit ChimeraX.
