You're welcome.

It would be easier to use Env[] than the shell to get the environment
variable.
If Env["XDG_SESSION_TYPE"] = "wayland" Then $plugVis = Null

but I would think safer to use Desktop.Platform as $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
variable would probably not work if run as root.
If Desktop.Platform == "wayland" Then $plugVis = Null
