Do not check if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is gnome for wayland screenshare now that we use pipewire screen

Hi

So I'm using Flatpak Zoom with KDE. Zoom wouldn't allow me to use the screenshare function unless I use the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gnome environment variable, which from what I know is the check for the old implementation where the app uses a Hack in Mutter (Gnome compositor) to do screen share. Since now it's done via pipewire with xdg desktop portal, having Gnome or this environment variable as a requirement is unnecessary and affect the ease of use of Zoom for users with other Wayland Desktop. Please Fix

I too would like this disabled, since evidently, wayland screenshare for zoom now works for GNOME and KDE, and presumably other wayland compositors now that it uses pipewire screenshare, so the check is unnecessary and just gets in the way
