Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
ran `git gui` in repo root.
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
The git gui client to open.
What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
About 80% of the time the git gui client opens correctly. About 20% of the time I get a window covered in graphical glitches: parts of the window covered in flashing black rectangles, text missing or distorted. In rare cases the OS crashes as well (it's been a while since I saw the OS crash from this, I don't remember further details about the crash).
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
The gui client was rendered unusable by graphical glitches.
Anything else you want to add:

Screenshot attached.
Fedora has Wayland enabled by default, though I'm not sure if the git gui client uses it directly or if there's some sort of X emulation involved.
