<p>Sort of.</p>
<p>Wayland core protocols (by design) do not allow a window to position itself, as a security measure,<br />
Plasma needs to so, as you've pointed out KWayland contains a protocol to speak to kwin to move a window.</p>
<p>However, if you let everyone do that, you defeat the entire security point. So the intention is to lock that protocol down to only being available to certain processes.</p>
<p>However, your app could be one of those trusted processes.</p></div>

<p>Thank u David,</p>
<p>I will forward a request for information(policies, restrictions etc) to the kwin developers concerning that matter</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R120 Plasma Workspace</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D3769" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D3769</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>EMAIL PREFERENCES</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>mvourlakos, Plasma, davidedmundson<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mart, apol, plasma-devel, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas<br /></div>
