If the "GNOME shell" is able to ask Wayland to position the diverse
elements of the destop, then the cooperation of the "GNOME shell" and
"gnome-terminal" should be able to do the same.

Wayland can be asked to position the top bar to the top of the screen,
to position the side bar to the left of the scereen, ... then "GNOME
shell" and "gnome-terminal" should be able to request at Wayland the
top-right or top-left positioning according to the original request of
gnome-terminal --geometry=-0+0" or "gnome-terminal --geometry=+0+0"
respectively.

To position someting into one of the 4 corners is so common request,
that there shuld be a solution for that, --- hence this bug report is
anyways

>>>> a real problem of the cooperation of "gnome-terminal" and "GNOME
shell" with "Wayland".

Yet another issue:

"I think it's more of a security feature than a bug, ..." ---  If
Wayland doesn't support the positioning request due to security
concerns, then even the size requests shuold be forbidden and make that
features obsolote as weel, since a request for maximal possibble size
implies the dangerous request of positioning, namely into the upper left
corner, what positioning request is considered a security threat.
