Description ppwwyyxx 2024-11-23 01:44:09 UTC

In kwinscript I used to identify primary screen by simply `workspace.screens[0]`. Some other open source code (e.g. https://github.com/nclarius/KWin-window-positioning-scripts/blob/fe9d1641982912075f9debe68cc6b9afde7292d5/always-open-on-primary-screen/contents/code/main.js#L24-L25 ) does the same.

After changing to wayland recently I found that `workspace.screens[0]` is no longer the primary screen that's set in "Display Configuration". It seems there is no reliable way in kwinscript to identify which screen is primary.
