XDG Wayland support

[myrkath]

I use XAVA on Linux Mint 22/ GNOME Wayland and am generally very happy with the program. However, I have one specific problem that I have not been able to solve. It concerns window positioning in the Wayland environment. While all other features work as expected, it seems that the options for adjusting window position are not implemented correctly(for gl).

Linux Mint 22
GNOME Shell 46.0/ Wayland
newest XAVA Appimage

Yeah that's an issue with Wayland in general (no unified positioning protocol exists IIRC), since I don't really have control over that. Thankfully since I switched to Gnome I can probably take a shot at it.

@myrkath Do you mind checking if wayland windows actually work under Gnome. I tried testing those myself and they seem straight up are broken on the current master branch.

I have several applications running under Wayland, and none of them are causing any issues. All applications are working flawlessly, and I haven't encountered any problems with the windows or overall performance.

And the performance is better than in x11

Didn't mean Wayland itself, but the Wayland mode of XAVA.
I had trouble lunching it without the background layer.
You can check if you're using the X11 mode by just xprop-ing XAVA's window. If you can't that means its in Wayland.

Yea, the Xava backgound layer is very buggy in Wayland, sometimes Xava shows trough Windows and however sometimes it is over my mouse cursor.

Ok I think I fixed it with the latest commit. Although, be warned that it's quite barebones because there aren't any mouse or keyboard inputs implemented at the moment.

Works much better now. Thank you
