Compose Desktop crashes on machines with AtkWrapper

[jimgoog]

It appears SUSE Linux now ships with AtkWrapper which is supposed to improve accessibility integration for java/swing applications (Enables accessibility support in OpenJDK 17 by using java-atk-wrapper. This allows compatible at-spi2 based accessibility programs to work for AWT and Swing-based programs).

Apparently this causes Compose Desktop applications to crash:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "kotlin.Lazy.getValue()" because "<local1>" is null
