With Gnome 3.36, works with xorg, not with wayland (Fedora 32).

On Fedora 32, with the default gnome session (which is a wayland session), sheltile does not correctly manage the geometries and positions of the windows, and produces erratic results. But if I select the xorg session, it works perfectly.

Same issue. Also using wayland/Fedora 32.

Ubuntu 20.04 with Gnome 36 on Wayland does not work either.

I already noticed an issue on Ubuntu 19.10 with Gnome 34 on Wayland where I couldn't tile windows by dragging one over the other and holding the tile key (see also #76). Quarter/vertical tiling by dragging a window to the corner/edge of a screen would still work. This is no longer the case since upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04.

Same problem on Archlinux. But if I remove the extension and reinstall it, it works again. I tried to remove the hidden folder under .local, but no impruvements.

I tried reinstalling the extension, however it only fixed tiling by moving the window to the edge/corner of the screen. Tiling by moving one window over the other while holding Ctrl still didn't work.

Moreover, after rebooting the functionality was lost again.

EDIT: The same functionality can also be maintained when having the extension disabled while rebooting / before boot and enabling it once the desktop has loaded.
