Version 2023.11.3: Failure to launch (cannot connect to dbus)

[TheFlagCourier]

On Fedora 39, KDE Spin, Jitsi 2023.11.3 fails to launch. Manually launching from the terminal shows that it is unable to connect to the DBus system bus socket.

Seems that this may be an upstream issue with Jitsi / Electron.

I think the dbus connection error is a red herring to what's actually failing in the launch.
For example, here's the output from my local machine when running Jitsi;
