--- Comment #5 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Indeed. Which means the app itself is either mis-written or mis-packaged. If it
needs that flag to run successfully, it's the app's responsibility to do so.

Really this is no different from any other misbehaving app. If an app
successfully launches but then doesn't show a window or quits immediately, it's
the app's fault, and there isn't really anything we can do about it. Showing
STDOUT or STDERR won't work because 1) there's no guarantee anything will be
printed there and 2) there's no guarantee anything printed there would be
related to the issue. Lots of app (including many of our own, unfortunately)
print a lot of junk there that doesn't actually indicate a problem.

So please report this to the app's developer or AppImage packager. Thanks!
