Description of the error
The standard installation of MDANSE_GUI from pypi results in a situation where the mdanse_gui script fails to create the main window on an openSUSE Linux machine with Wayland.
Describe the expected result
The GUI should start on every platform without extra tuning.
Describe the actual result
Apparently, an additional environment variable is needed:
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb mdanse_gui
This makes MDANSE_GUI start correctly.
Suggested fix
Normally, Qt has a number of plugins it can use, but for MDANSE_GUI it seems that xcb is the only option.
