No display found on X11 with bspwm

[elliotwesoff]

Hey folke,

You've created the project that's been brewing in my head for the past few months (seriously what haven't you written?), and I would love to try it out before taking a swing at it myself. Unfortunately I get a segfault when trying to run polydock. Here is my error:

(gjs:5505): Wnck-WARNING **: 20:38:01.033: libwnck is designed to work in X11 only, no valid display found
^C/sbin/polydock: line 13:  5505 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) gjs "$dist/polydock.js" $@
[restarting]

I did, however, install polydock from the AUR with yay -S polydock instead of building from source. Can you offer any advice on how to get it working? Thanks!

Same issue here on AwesomeWM. Using Arch, and installed from zip in releases

Just build fresh on Debian 12 with openbox running and am getting the same error.

Just to add another test: i3 with a fresh build or with the binary from the releases doesn't work.

Same issue here Arch with i3.

Hello has anyone been able to fix this? I am running into the same issue with i3 and Arch.

Glad to know other people have been running into this issue. I'm having this issue running Arch and gnome
