After transition to Nvidia card/Nouveau (fedora-34): flatpak evolution fails to display messages with webkit error

1

I have an evolution(flathub)/flatpak setup in a fedora-34 based VM. Was running smoothly until I switched my laptop to using the Nvidia card/Nouveau rather than the integrated Intel one.

Now evolution will start, but fail to display any messages showing

  1. in the GUI: Something has gone wrong when displaying the message. A WebkitWebProcess crashed when displaying the message. You can try again by moving to another message and back. If the issue persists, please file a bug report in GNOME Gitlab.
  2. on the CLI (from which evolution was started with flatpak run):
(WebKitWebProcess:188): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 23:13:29:416: gdk_atom_intern: assertion 'atom_name != NULL' failed
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

flatpak --gl-drivers gives default & host.

What is going wrong here? Installing the Nouveau xorg drivers in the VM did not fix this.

I’m desperate for any insight into this and thus crossposting with evolution itself … https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/1846
