Description

I'm sure this is outside of the expected use, but... Under Windows using WSL Ubuntu 22.04 I have managed to compile xstudio following the Ubuntu 22.04 instructions.

It appeared to work fine, the application launches, I can define a range of exr's to load at launch.

However the main image view is completely white.

I can see and even scrub my exr files in the thumbnail of the media pool though, its just the main viewer that is completely blank.

Is this user error or simply a limitation of WSL?
Thanks.

I am seeing one error in the shell when running:
```
[xstudio] [error] shader error: Vertex shader error:
0:2(10): error: GLSL 4.30 is not supported. Supported versions are: 1.10, 1.20, 1.30, 1.40, 1.50, 3.30, 1.00 ES, 3.00 ES, and 3.10 ES
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the blank main viewer in WSL Ubuntu 22.04 while checking the shell's GLSL 4.30 shader error. Compare the main viewer with the working media-pool thumbnail path and determine whether the issue is a WSL limitation or an xSTUDIO build/runtime bug; document the confirmed cause and reproduction details.
