+A known issue[1] exists when running RaySession on Wayland. 
+Once started in a terminal, there will be an error message that
+reads "qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()"
+which obfuscates numerous other messages that are printed to the terminal.
+In the QT Forum this was discussed[2]
+with the result that using this function call is not allowed
+in wayland.
+
+As such, running RaySession on Wayland is not recommended until the issue
+can be fixed upstream.

+%description
+Ray Session is a GNU/Linux session manager for audio programs as Ardour,
+Carla, QTractor, Non-Timeline, etc...
+
+It uses the same API as Non Session Manager, so programs compatible with NSM
+are also compatible with Ray Session. As Non Session Manager, the principle
+is to load together audio programs, then be able to save or close all
+documents together.
+
+Ray Session offers a little more:
+
+ - Factory templates for NSM and LASH compatible applications
+ - Possibility to save any client as template
+ - Save session as template
+ - Name files with a prettier way
+ - remember if client was started or not
+ - Abort session almost anytime
+ - Change Main Folder of sessions on GUI
+ - Possibility to KILL client if clean exit is too long
+ - Open Session Folder button (open default file manager)
+
+ Ray Session is being developed by houston4444, using Python3 and Qt5.
