Hi Bruce B,

where do you get your certainty from?
It also works here on Wayland.
This is a demonstration that, if one reasons about it, can work according
to various needs.
It reads all the links present on the desktop and stores their X and Y
position but, if you want, you can store the rectangle too.

I suggest you to study better :-D

Regards
Gianluigi
