When I first tried to open LMMS (rpm version), it crashed when initializing the UI and Fedora made an automatic crash report: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/575220/

### Expected Behaviour

To open.

### Steps To Reproduce

I just opened it from the gnome menu.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash by launching LMMS from the GNOME menu or with the `lmms` command on Fedora Workstation 40. Inspect the reported missing Carla libraries and initialization errors; done means the RPM build opens without a segmentation fault.
