    • Platform(s): GTK
    • Operating System(s): Arch Linux

Yes, as far as I understand Wayland, you do not have control over the location of any window. which is insane. but unfortunately the truth right now. If ever Wayland gets this feature, I would expect the appropriate GTK APIs to be "lit up" and just start working, so this is not an Eto issue but an upstream issue.

Ah right, I forgot that wayland doesn't allow this due to security measures. Closing as invalid then.
