Until the regression causing the error...

GL_ERROR : 0x0502 GenericBuffer::genBuffer failed

terminate called without an active exception
Aborted (core dumped)

when rendering electrostatic surfaces in the Pymol Electostatics plugin
is solved under Wayland with the Nvidia non-free drivers, a workaround
is to add...

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

to the environmental variables being set in the /usr/bin/pymol wrapper
script. This successfully suppresses the error while not impacting any
other program.

Tested on Ubuntu 24.0.4.3 LTS and Ubuntu 25.10 (both under Wayland).
