If you don't have qt wayland support installed, running qt with wayland won't work, it's simple.

@porjo sudo dnf install qt5-qtwayland

[porjo]

@ZetaoYang I have installed packageqt5-qtwayland - now I get this instead:

$ QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland flameshot
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread

And Flameshot trayicon is not visible.

I uninstalled Topicons and installed Appindicator, and now flameshot trayicon appears using wayland. Thanks!
