Wayland Problems


Looking to install Gambas3 version 19.1 from the Manjaro repositories, I
have updated the branch to unstable. Everything seems to be going well. No
errors. But this version uses wayland by default instead of X11. Here the
problems started:

-Wayland claims that it does not support any Stacking other than Normal
(This is the least of the problems. I can live with that).

-The main form always appears centered on the main desktop, regardless of
the coordinates established via code or with settings.Read(Me).

- A form can only be moved by dragging and dropping on the title bar. With
Border = False you cannot move it via code.

-The IgnoreTaskBar property does not work and the program always appears in
the TaskBar. Programs that use a tryIcon and that open other forms always
have two or more entries in the taskbar, one for the tryIcon form and
another for each one that is opened from it.

-The Stiky property also does not work and the form is only seen on the
main screen of the virtual desktop where it is executed.

All of this is important to me, I use a few desktop widgets of my own and
one or two programs that use a TryIcon.

I can change to X11 at Plasma Session boot... but it seems that Wayland is
coming inexorably and that these problems will reappear.

Greetings
