"Although dragging could be done by relative movements. Setting an
absolute position does appear to be impossible in Wayland."
If it was really impossibble, then how the Gnome shell or any window
manager can position *itself*?
We see, that the diverse components of the diverse window managers does
not float around in an uncontrolled way, but *somehow* they are able to
tell to Wayland where to position that components.
The gnome-terminal should be able to do the same, either directly ask
Wayland, or indirectly ask the window manager, in return of the
--geometry argument.
Hence it is confirmed, that the problem in question is
1: either a severe bug of the windows manager itself
2: or a severe bug of the applications receiving the --geometry
arguments.
I am extremly upset of keeping this bug report on the level of
"opinion".
There are so uncomfortable problems around the terminal windowing since
21.04,

or the too thick capture bar of a terminal wastes the vertical

that I seriousely consieder to change to other distro. My work depends
heavily on the comfort of character terminals I became used to in the
late 80's, and since 21.04 the level of comfort reached a treshold of
pain.
And now, I can not achieve that this serious bug is taken seriously.
This bug crosses the basics of the windowing standars hold already for
decades.
Perhaps one of the iconic feature of a windowing system is that an
application can position the other windows.
This was possibble already in the mid 80's!
I simply do not understand what is going here around the Wayland, while
on the other hand it seems to be a very promising progress in the
technology of the windowing system. But why it is a so big issue to
position a window by an other application?
