Two suggestions #25

Thanks for this tool, it is a great help to track time!

I have two suggestion

  1. Please make more evident that this extension is needed for wayland + gnome: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/5592/focused-window-d-bus/

At the moment it is in a footnote that is easy to oversee.

  1. I am running awatcher using a custom bash script, based on the one suggested in the documentation (https://docs.activitywatch.net/en/latest/running-on-gnome.html#running-on-gnome). I am not sure if the suggested method with the toml file worked in my case. 
#!/bin/bash

cd /opt/activitywatch         # Put your ActivityWatch install folder here
./aw-server/aw-server & /usr/bin/aw-awatcher;

Hello! 1) Thank you for your suggestion, it was also a problem in #24 . I have added a note in a more accessible place: https://github.com/2e3s/awatcher/commit/8a82b9f973204373fa0aeb0a39abb733bef546e1 2) I don't think you need a custom bash script. Just follow the instructions on https://github.com/2e3s/awatcher to make awatcher work, it should be enough. If not, I'll add the missing steps and tricks.
