I do have the same issue, but i don't have any errors running flameshot gui -c -s.
It has recently stopped working.
Flameshot runs gui, and when i am trying Ctrl + C to copy to the clipboard, nothing happens.
The strange thing, that i don't have any errors on flameshot gui -c -s, i could find errors only in systemctl xdg

I am using arch linux (latest), Wayland, SwayWM.
Hi have the same problem on Debian Sid with enlightenment 0.26.0... em1069@angellodebiansofia:~$ flameshot QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-em1069' QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-em1069' QApplication: invalid style override 'gtk2' passed, ignoring it. Available styles: Windows, Fusion flameshot: error: Unable to connect via DBus
I can make disappear the error with the following command: em1069@angellodebiansofia:~$ dbus-run-session flameshot QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-em1069' QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-em1069' QApplication: invalid style override 'gtk2' passed, ignoring it. Available styles: Windows, Fusion
But the icon of flameshot still missing... maybe that can provide to the maintainer any clue about the problem.
Hi! good news... I installed the following package and restarted enlightenment and now flameshot is working: dbus-x11
