Description
Running cargo run --example offscreen out.png fails when creating a connection, when unwrapping the result that comes back from Connection::new().
I'm using X11 if it makes a difference.

Research direction
Start by running cargo run --example offscreen out.png on Pop!_OS/Ubuntu 22.04 with X11 and inspect the result returned by Connection::new() before the unwrap. Trace the offscreen example and connection setup to identify why the connection fails; done means the example establishes a connection successfully on the reported environment.
