Segmentation fault on Ubuntu 24.04 (Wayland) due to libwnck dependency #137

Description

I am experiencing a segmentation fault when trying to launch SysMonTask on Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat).

Environment

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04
  • Display Server: Wayland
  • Installation Method: pip (as the PPA does not support Noble)
  • Python Version: 3.12

Error Log

When running sysmontask from the terminal, I receive the following output:

(sysmontask:22382): Wnck-WARNING **: 15:24:00.236: libwnck is designed to work in X11 only, no valid display found
[1]    22382 segmentation fault  sysmontask

Additional Context

It appears the app relies on libwnck, which is hard-coded for X11. Since many modern distributions have moved to Wayland by default, the app crashes immediately upon launch.

Are there any plans to implement Wayland support or replace the libwnck dependency to prevent this crash?
