Description Tim 2022-01-04 10:37:00 UTC

SUMMARY
Fullscreen Applications (At least for Valve Source-Engine based games) seem to always open on the screen with the lowest ID on wayland, since it has no "primary screen". In this case screen 0 is a smaller screen than the one that I mainly use, which sadly is screen 1. The problem is that you can't change the screen IDs.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have two screens

OBSERVED RESULT
Even after disabling the left screen and enabling it again to have the IDs switched around, they reset after a reboot to numbers incrementing in the reading direction.

EXPECTED RESULT
They shouldn't do that.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION
Reintroduce the "Primary Screen" Feature or allow the user to change the IDs of screens

For now it seems like I managed to set a primary screen via "xrandr --output XWAYLAND1 --auto --primary"

Plasma 5.24 has a Primary Screen setting.
