Description

See https://github.com/SimulaVR/Simula/issues/180 for our original flagging.

I haven't tried launching Webstorm in Simula before, but one possibility is that it's launching using an exotic Wayland protocol we don't yet support. Do you know if there's a flag to force an X11 launch? Perhaps launching with the flag DISPLAY=:1 (or whichever display Simula is using).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked issue 180 and reproducing the WebStorm launch failure in Simula. Check which display environment Simula provides and whether the reported X11 launch flags change the result; done means documenting a confirmed workaround or identifying the unsupported launch behavior.
