On Electron 39+, appendSwitch("ozone-platform-hint", "x11") has no
effect — the ozone platform is selected during Chromium init, before
any JS runs. This causes the app to silently start on native Wayland
on KDE, breaking overlay positioning, focus, and always-on-top.
Self-relaunch with --ozone-platform=x11 before require("electron")
is the only way to get the flag onto the native command line in time.
Force XWayland on KDE via self-relaunch, load userData .env early for DICTATION_KEY, skip KGlobalAccel D-Bus on XWayland and register hotkey from env var before page load. Increase clipboard restore delay for KDE Wayland clipboard bridge.

Summary
Based on c6d3cf8 from #495.
On KDE Wayland with Electron 39, the hotkey didn't work until you manually re-set it in settings. KGlobalAccel D-Bus silently accepted the registration but never fired the shortcut signal.
The fix forces XWayland on KDE (where globalShortcut works via X11) and loads the saved hotkey from the userData .env early enough to register it before the page finishes loading.
