Sample KWin script to print client geometry of all windows

SUMMARY

KWin commit https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/commit/51642177e370f4cf902d15494f700c27a9961b9c added a Window.clientGeometry property that can be used to query the client geometry via the KWin scripting API, which is very useful.
The client geometry is incorrect however e.g. when querying it for the gtk4-demo app when running it on XWayland in a Plasma Wayland session.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run KDE Plasma Wayland
2. run gtk4-demo as a native Wayland application:
    gtk4-demo
3. run gtk4-demo on XWayland:
   GDK_BACKEND=x11 gtk4-demo
4. move both of the gtk4-demo windows to the top edge of the screen (y coordinate 0).
5. load the attached KWin script that prints window information:
    $ dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.KWin /Scripting org.kde.kwin.Scripting.loadScript string:$(readlink -f kwin6-print-window-infos.js)
    method return time=1712133458.716388 sender=:1.20 -> destination=:1.102 serial=2231 reply_serial=2
    int32 4
6. run the script loaded in the previous step (adjust script path according to the number in the output from step 5, here it's script number 4).
    dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.kde.KWin /Scripting/Script4 org.kde.kwin.Script.run
7. Check the script output in systemd journal:
    sudo journalctl -e

    Apr 03 10:37:43 fedora kwin_wayland[7262]: js: caption: GTK Demo <2>‎, bufferGeometry: QRectF(1028, -12, 828, 629), clientGeometry: QRectF(1028, -12, 828, 629)
    Apr 03 10:37:43 fedora kwin_wayland[7262]: js: caption: kwin6-print-window-infos.js — Kate, bufferGeometry: QRectF(0, 28, 1920, 1008), clientGeometry: QRectF(0, 28, 1920, 1008)

OBSERVED RESULT

The client geometry for gtk4-demo running as a native Wayland app is correct: clientGeometry: QRectF(1043, 0, 800, 600)
However, the client geometry for gtk4-demo running on XWayland is incorrect: clientGeometry: QRectF(1028, -12, 828, 629)

EXPECTED RESULT

The client geometry for gtk4-demo running on XWayland should also have a y position of 0.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is e.g. relevant for accessibility tools. (E.g. a magnifier that automatically follows the position of the text caret would might then result in the wrong part of the screen being in view.)
I ran into this while implementing support in Accerciser to retrieve window coordinates from KWin on Wayland.
