From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Usually the program manages this for itself, among a few other things, so normally this is not needed, but it seems wayland does not allow them to set their own location.
Yes and that is known. Programs are not able to see the screen, as this can be fingerprintable or other issues. So they cannot place themselves.
So this is the obvious solution!
They don't shouldn't need to see the screen just to position themselves on it. Or do you mean the screen size?
Yes they need to know screen size, layout, DPI, arrangements
