Audacity (misteriously?) auto-starts at boot and logo freezes over desktop
I run Artix on a HP 8440p, intel i-5, 8GB and it has worked fine for some years now.
One minor problem I have been living with for several months now and still haven't managed to solve, is that Audacity
world/audacity 1:3.4.2-3.1 (pro-audio) [installed]
never starts beyond placing its logo over the desktop. This has been happening through numerous updates and even a few remove/install
.
When I call audacity from the terminal it shows the logo and freezes without giving any feedback at all on the terminal.
The audacity logo also shows and remains over the desktop upon boot and has to be removed by killing.
I tried the appImage once but it did not start and I never tried it again.
I could not make any sense of the info below, as to how Audacity gets activated under boot, but perhaps I was wrong in expecting an answer from that:

I noticed tenacity and sneedacity in pacman's listing, but I get scared by the few reviews I find on them, maybe some one can share experience?
