The GeoModelExplorer (GMEX) application appears to crash when run on the latest version of the Ubuntu "Wayland" window manager. The problem is that the SoQt/Coin third-party packages we use in GMEX have not been ported to work to the latest Wayland yet. As far as we know, all applications that use the Coin/SoQt graphics layers as their graphics interface crash on the latest Wayland. The Coin3D community is aware of the problem but there are no fixes, yet.

Note also: hardware acceleration is required for the GMEX application to work properly. On computers with NVidia graphics, install and run the `nvidia-settings` application; go into the `PRIME Profiles` section and choose performance mode.
