Fails to start – Unable to open X display / Failed to connect to Wayland display

Flatpak app `com.visualstudio.code` fails to start on my system, both in X11 and Wayland mode, even with `--no-sandbox` and/or `ZYPAK_DISABLE_SANDBOX=1`. I also tried #271, but it behaves identically. However, [com.visualstudio.code-oss](https://github.com/flathub/com.visualstudio.code-oss) starts without any problem in both X11 and Wayland mode. Other Electron-based Flatpak apps also work without problem.

```
