Description of the bug

Starting eww with eww daemon --no-daemonize --debug --config ~/dotfiles/eww/ i can see eww starts as expected and everything looks normal:

INFO  eww > Initializing Eww server. (/run/user/1000/eww-server_caa9804d9c36feb1)
Run `eww logs` to see any errors while editing your configuration.
INFO  eww::server > Loading paths: config-dir: /var/home/axx/Software/dotfiles/eww, ipc-socket: /run/user/1000/eww-server_caa9804d9c36feb1, log-file: /var/home/axx/.cache/eww_caa9804d9c36feb1.log

DEBUG eww::server > Initializing script var handler
INFO  eww::ipc_server > IPC server initialized

I can see the socket is properly created:

$ file /run/user/1000/eww-server_caa9804d9c36feb1
/run/user/1000/eww-server_caa9804d9c36feb1: socket

However, eww ping fails, as do all other eww commands:

ERROR eww::error_handling_ctx > Failed to connect to daemon

Reproducing the issue

This happens every time I start eww daemon.

The config files are those from the example eww-bar.

Expected behaviour

The eww socket and daemon are reachable.

Additional context

OS: Fedora Silverblue 39
version: eww 0.4.0
installation method: nix (home-manager)
