Bear in mind I am No Expert in this...

I discovered that, when logging in, a cog would appear in the bottom half
of the display. Clicking on the cog would allow me to select one of two
options for providing the GUI.

I selected the one for "X" and logged in - perfect! emacs (G?UI) window
appeared fine, Firefox appeared OK.

The environment variable $XDG_SESSION_TYPE has the value "wayland" when the
GUI isn't working properly, and "x11" when it is.

HTH,


Ian
