With rootless Xwayland (the usual case), the Wayland compositor also takes the explicit role of the X11 window manager through X11 protocol. This is even how X11 is intended to work and not some backdoor. Therefore, the Wayland compositor is still in full control of all window management, including positioning, even if X11 exposes a global coordinate system to X11 applications that the Wayland compositor needs to fake. If Wine could really benefit from some optional hand-holding, I think it would be okay to have a Windows-specific interface to help fill the gaps. It wouldn't be that different from what Wayland compositors need to do today to support Xwayland; a foreign window system integration. Even better if that's not necessary. Thanks, pq
