I have just tested this on fedora 35 gnome

my findings...
it works as expected on gnome default x11 and gnome xorg sessions.
it fails with wayland neither Move() or Me.Left or Me.Top do anything.

SteveG make sure you are not using gnome on wayland and use the x11 / xorg
sessions,

Also with fedora35 both x11 and wayland give no libraries listed in gambas
system information
