Comment:
First of all, sorry for taking a long time, but I was away from my void boxes today.

Here's the report:

1) Yep, `dex /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.DiskUtility.desktop` works perfectly, which circumscribes the problem to a wofi bug? | lack of feature?

2) Not sure why other void users never noticed this bug though. Maybe usage of WMs instead of DEs is not that common, especially on wayland?

3) Not sure if this should be reported to https://todo.sr.ht/~scoopta/wofi since the wofi readme already remarks wofi "can experience issues on systems where a user session bus is not automatically started such as systems using elogind". Seems they're aware of this. 

4) Maybe something about this should be mentioned into the "[Session and Seat Management](https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/session-management.html#session-and-seat-management)" of the void handbook? As is "If you're having problems running .desktop files with elogind on wayland, try using gendesk and a custom local path to a .desktop file"?

You're the boss, you decide. Kinda funny this story though. I really think however the workaround with gendesk and the custom .desktop file should go into a manual somewhere.
