Respect which information from GTK? If reporting (0 . 0) for
undecorated and fullboth frames and a fixed value for decorated frames
works, then I see no problem with it (although I donʼt run pgtk as my
daily driver, so perhaps there are other issues). The frame
positioning portions of desktop.el and similar are doomed under
Wayland in any case.
