Macbook Pro 2019 with discrete GPU.

If I start CardinalNative with the Automatic Graphics Switching option set in the Battery preferences, the app seems to load but no window is ever shown. If I disable that option it starts up normally.

Opening the package contents and running the shell script directly, I see in both cases:

[1.661 info Window.cpp:385 WindowSetPluginUI] Renderer: ATI Technologies Inc. AMD Radeon Pro 5300M OpenGL Engine
[1.661 info Window.cpp:386 WindowSetPluginUI] OpenGL: 2.1 ATI-7.1.6

100% repeatable as far as I can tell, regardless of whether on Battery power or with the USB charger plugged in.
