There is an upstream issue about using wayland and VirtualBox: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18679

Wayland is currently not supported in VirtualBox as they have some x11 specific code which needs to be removed first.

The Qt xcb plugin seems to be the only supported variant, so we could add QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb to the wrapper until is wayland supported.
