wslg: Graphics apps don't work

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.65]
Your Distribution version: Ubuntu Release:        20.04
Your WSLg version: 1.0.24 6/27/2021

Steps to reproduce

Just tried to execute any installed graphic app and it hangs. Nothing happens.

WSL logs:

Attach WSLg logs from /mnt/wslg pulseaudio.log weston.log stderr.log

marco@NC-0720:/mnt/wslg$ more versions.txt WSLg ( x86_64 ): 1.0.24+Branch.main.Sha.b42023b5fed7567955f4c6c36123a5cf22e9292a Mariner: VERSION=“1.0.20210224” FreeRDP: b05321cd4e6a862aef76163a69db4e1910245736 weston: ed4f3bbbf5efbd5bde880704bc03497f2446c3f2 pulseaudio: 2f0f0b8c3872780f15e275fc12899f4564f01bd5 mesa: marco@NC-0720:/mnt/wslg$

Expected behavior

I used to have a full gnome install and used a windows xserver to create a GUI. I uninstalled gnome and dependencies and the xserver from windows. I updated WSL and installed the WLSg, then updated all packages.

Actual behavior

When I try to run any linux GUI app it just hangs and does nothing.

I renamed it but the symlink still got updated, so that wasn’t it. Curious why some apps appear to launch as a remote desktop and others don’t? The remote desktop apps appear to be more prone to failures and crashes
