Problem

QElectroTech relies on drag-and-drop from the collection panel to add elements to diagrams, but this doesn't work on Wayland compositors (Hyprland).

Solution

Add a launch script that runs QET inside a nested Xephyr X server with Openbox as the window manager, bypassing Wayland entirely.

Usage

# From terminal:
~/ExoKortex/4-Automata/dotfiles/scripts/qet-xephyr.sh

# Or (after installing .desktop file):
# wofi → type "QET"

Also includes an optional Hyprland window rule to make the Xephyr window tile instead of float.
