Pigro fails to start on Raspberry Pi 5 using "x" instead of wayland.

There is a bug in the Raspberry Pi 5 config that prevents "RealVnc" from starting (uses a Wayland based VNC?) unless you switch from Wayland to "X". When I did that, it made something incompatible with the PiGro config. Gui start does nothing and from the command line I see this error:

pi@MyPi5-01:~ $ pigro-jci

Hi, I managed to reproduce the error. It seems that ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/desktop.conf in Bookworm is not created automatically (as it was before Wayland). There is a simple workaround:

Please go to the Panel Menu and open Appearance Settings. The path and the necessary config file should be created then.
Hope that helps. A hotfix will follow in a few days.

Yes... the steps you listed fixed the PiGro launch :) Thanks!!!
