description of issue

When I try and select an area of the screen to record I'm getting the following error message on gnome 41 + wayland:

$ kooha
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/kooha/kooha/window.py", line 60, in on_start_record_button_clicked
    self.video_recorder.set_selection_mode()
  File "/usr/share/kooha/kooha/recorders.py", line 194, in set_selection_mode
    self.coordinates = self.gnome_selectarea.call_sync(
gi.repository.GLib.Error: g-dbus-error-quark: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: SelectArea is not allowed (9)

expected behaviour

I should get a selection cursor to select an area of the screen and then it should allow me to record that area of the screen.

gnome 41 removed other appllications access to certain dbus interface which includes SelectArea, this is fixed though in main branch as it doesnt depend on that
