That would explain why it works so well for me. I don't run it from a 
terminal, only from the menu system, Applications -> Sound and Video -> 
Audacity. This is on MATE 1.26. I haven't tried it from GNOME in years, 
probably since back when GNOME was still 2.x.


Interestingly, I just tried running Audacity from a terminal just to see 
what would happen, and I have the menu navigation working, along with 
some really informative debugging output on my terminal, but then maybe 
not so informative, as when I ran it from the applications menu I got 
some kind of assertion failure, but Audacity still opened without any 
further issues. In all cases, I have everything working as expected, on 
an Arch system  as well as on a fresh Fedora 34 installation. I haven't 
tried on my Fedora install, but the flatpak version on Arch even speaks 
its menus and settings windows.
