Hey,
just started using Firejail (0.9.63) on Arch and noticed that audacious wouldn't start. There is no error message but the window never comes up. Top lists it as a zombie. Ignoring "memory-deny-write-execute" makes it work.
I noticed that Audacity behaves exactly the same way, so there might be more applications affected. Not sure if it's a general problem with my configuration or a problem of the applications profile files.

It's not your config, see #1803 and #2840.

It is not known exactly what the cause is. one is the wayland implementation of gtk, it is broken with mdwe since firejail 0.9.60+ (memfd_create).
