[FEAT] Add support to Wayland #94

Hi devs,

As you can see, Wayland is taking your space and the new Ubuntu version will already come as default.

Could you support him?

There is a board project for track the wayland support check it out : https://github.com/orgs/elementary/projects/12

For software like docks that integrates with the window manager, it is important to ask "which wayland (compositor)"?

I really recommend that the elementary team consider the wlroots approach, which has protocols in place for panels and docks to integrate with the compositor/WM. A couple examples are:

  1. wlr_foreign_toplevel_management_unstable_v1, which claims "to enable the creation of taskbars and docks by providing them with a list of opened applications and letting them request certain actions on them, like maximizing, etc."
  2. wlr_layer_shell_unstable_v1, which claims that it "should be suitable for the implementation of many desktop shell components, and a broad number of other applications that interact with the desktop"

Gonna close this as "Fixed" since we've started a rewrite of the Dock that is designed for Wayland :)
