With the release of `pcsx2 1.7.3114-1`, the desktop file has `Exec=env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb MESA_NO_ERROR=1 pcsx2-qt`, therefore this bug doesn't affect emulation when started via desktop icon, programs menu, etc.

When starting from command line, if `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb` isn't set, the bug will still happen.

1.7.3187-3 adds WAYLAND_API=ON and an optdep on qt6-wayland.
