Multi-hop doesn't work on Fedora 35 without Gnome Shell
Step to reproduce
- Download the RPM package from GitHub Actions on the official repository (Last build tested: 2.7~rc15)
- Install the package with
dnf install ./path/to/RPM/package(this is needed to ensure that all dependencies are installed) - Open Mozilla VPN Client
- Configure Multi-Hops
Actual behavior
Mozilla VPN fails to connect to the servers configured in the multi-hops preference and return a "Server unavailable" error. I have tested multiple server permutations to be sure that it wasn't limited to only a specific set (or specific order) but it didn't look like it.

Expected behavior
Mozilla VPN successfully connects to the servers (enter and exit nodes) configured in multi-hops.

This might have the same root cause as: https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/VPN-1748 ( https://mozilla-hub.atlassian.net/browse/VPN-1748|smart-link ) Andrea Marchesini, could you confirm? Thanks!

I’m not sure yet.
I've done a fresh install of Fedora 35 (the default install with Gnome) and it now works. I seems like it must be related to a dependency issue or a system configuration that isn't present on (some) non-Gnome environment.
@oskirby any idea what dependency or configuration could be missing here? or if it could be the same underlaying issue than #1869?
Still doesn't work on Fedora 36 minimal install but does on Fedora Workstation (Gnome).
