Bug ID: 484963
Summary: Incorrect client geometry reported via KWin scripting
API for gtk4-demo running on XWayland
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.0.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Sample KWin script to print client geometry of all windows
SUMMARY
KWin commit
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/51642177e370f4cf902d15494f700c27a9961b9c
added a Window.clientGeometry property that can be used to query the client
geometry via the KWin scripting API, which is very useful.
The client geometry is incorrect however e.g. when querying it for the
gtk4-demo app when running it on XWayland in a Plasma Wayland session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run KDE Plasma Wayland
2. run gtk4-demo as a native Wayland application:
gtk4-demo
3. run gtk4-demo on XWayland:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 gtk4-demo
4. move both of the gtk4-demo windows to the top edge of the screen (y
coordinate 0).
5. load the attached KWin script that prints window information:
$ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.KWin /Scripting
org.kde.kwin.Scripting.loadScript string:$(readlink -f
kwin6-print-window-infos.js)
method return time=1712133458.716388 sender=:1.20 -> destination=:1.102
serial=2231 reply_serial=2
int32 4
6. run the script loaded in the previous step (adjust script path according to
the number in the output from step 5, here it's script number 4).
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.KWin /Scripting/Script4
org.kde.kwin.Script.run
7. Check the script output in systemd journal:
sudo journalctl -e
Sample output:

clientGeometry: QRectF(0, 28, 1920, 1008)
OBSERVED RESULT
The client geometry for gtk4-demo running as a native Wayland app is correct:
clientGeometry: QRectF(1043, 0, 800, 600)
However, the client geometry for gtk4-demo running on XWayland is incorrect:
clientGeometry: QRectF(1028, -12, 828, 629)
EXPECTED RESULT
The client geometry for gtk4-demo running on XWayland should also have a y
position of 0.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This is e.g. relevant for accessibility tools. (E.g. a magnifier that
automatically follows the position of the text caret would might then result in
the wrong part of the screen being in view.)
I ran into this while implementing support in Accerciser to retrieve window
coordinates from KWin on Wayland.
