Also, it seems a bit tricky if not problematic to use flatpak for this, see 
e.g. 
https://github.com/flathub/org.geany.Geany/blob/master/wrapper/ide-first-run.txt#L22.

Also, looking at 
[org.geany.Geany.yml](https://github.com/flathub/org.geany.Geany/blob/master/org.geany.Geany.yml)
 it seems to bundle a lot of things.  If that's what's needed to get things 
working, I'm a bit skeptical.  Admittedly a few things could potentially be 
adjusted on the Geany build/config[^1] to e.g. not require `xterm` or a 
`evince` wrapper, but it still seem a bit problematic that it e.g. bundles 
WebKit.

Maybe this all can be improved, but the current state makes me think it's not 
gonna be something we'll want to take under our wing.  I'm fine getting 
counter-arguments and seeing potential improvements, but as-is I'm not 
convinced.

[^1]: Patching (or providing a default config) could replace `xterm` with some 
more compatible Flatpak terminal, adjusting to use `open` directly, or changing 
the default use of native dialogs.
