I’m encountering an issue running the Cursor AppImage (Cursor-0.47.8-82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e3.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage) on Arch Linux with an older Intel GPU. The AppImage crashes with a "trace trap (core dumped)" error, and further investigation reveals compatibility issues with VAAPI and Wayland, as well as potential glibc mismatches.
Environment
OS: Arch Linux (as of March 21, 2025, rolling release)

GPU: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (Ironlake Mobile, ~2010), using i915 kernel module

glibc Version: [Insert output of ldd --version, e.g., 2.39] (AppImage targets glibc 2.25)

Desktop Session: Initially Wayland, switched to X11 for troubleshooting

AppImage Version: Cursor-0.47.8-82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e3.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage

Steps to Reproduce
Download the AppImage: Cursor-0.47.8-82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e3.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage

Make it executable: chmod +x ./Cursor-0.47.8-82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e3.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage

Run on Arch Linux with an Intel Ironlake GPU:
On Wayland: ./Cursor-0.47.8-82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e3.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage

On X11: ./Cursor-0.47.8-82ef0f61c01d079d1b7e5ab04d88499d5af500e3.deb.glibc2.25-x86_64.AppImage

Expected Behavior
The AppImage should launch the Cursor application without crashing.
Actual Behavior
On Wayland: Crashes with [1] trace trap (core dumped). Running with --appimage-extract-and-run shows:

I was getting same error when installing from AUR, I added this to my .zshrc and is working when I launch it from terminal.

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share:/usr/local/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
