I know Wayland protocol doesn't provide option to control shell surface position on the screen. I would like to find a way for controlling window/surface placement. I have tried tools like xdotool and wmctrl, but they only recognize XWayland windows. I am using Gnome Shell so the window manager is Mutter. Why is surface location not part of Wayland protocol? What would be the suggested way or ways for controlling Wayland surface placement programmatically?
Edit:
Wayland client-protocol provides interface for sub-surfaces and it is sufficient for my purposes at the moment. However window I would hope protocol to include top-level window position option. I could make gnome-shell extension with, javascript? But not really an option in this case.
