Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install element-desktop on arch for X11
2. Login to element-desktop on X11
3. Change to wayland

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?
I expected connectivity to be the same between wayland and X11.

On Wayland, the desktop app was unable to connect to matrix servers, giving a connectivity error.
