Summary0010331: Plugins : file manager or dialog boxes don't open
DescriptionI can't use some plugins (LV2/VST3/VST2) because dialog boxes don't appears.
For example Decent Sampler, Helm.

Plugins that use their own GUI dialog boxes are not affected, issue is with OS boxes (Mint Cinnamon here)

I have no problem using Carla or Reaper.
It was working before, but I can't remember if there was an update of Ardour or OS.
Steps To ReproduceAdd i.e. Decent Sampler plugin (any version).
Use File... --> Load...
A dialog boxe should open, but nothing happens.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is likely caused by older plugins that launch an external app to do that, which can cause dropouts.

I expect the workaround mentioned https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz-ui/issues/74#issuecomment-1565879638 will work.
