[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Nautilus / wayland integration: bring Geany to front when opening a new tab in existing instance (#1698)

[elextr]

@argit thanks for the input, but IIUC your last comment on [`#932`](https://github.com/gnunn1/tilix/issues/932) it works when you are using tilix on x11 on top of wayland.  If you run Geany the same way it should work, but as the other comments say the problem is not fixed for tilix run on bare metal wayland.

The [wayland protocol](https://cgit.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/tree/protocol/wayland.xml) simply does not seem to provide any way for applications to control window/surface presentation, but the X11 protocol does.  So the only way wayland compositors/window managers can present windows is from user interaction ATM.  All the timeout stuff is for X11, to handle its asynchronism.  It is unlikely to change the situation on bare metal wayland.

`<rant>` basically wayland is broken`</rant>`
