Unresponsive window decorations on wayland

[jeancf]

Problem

When running a dioxus desktop app under Wayland, the decorations of the window do not look consistent with the other windows and the buttons (minimize, maximize, close) are unresponsive.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• run the application with cargo run.
• try to maximize, minimize or close the app by clicking one of the buttons on the top right corner; nothing happens.

Expected behavior

See the window with the same decoration as the other windows and be able to interact with the buttons.

Screenshots

above: window when starting app with cargo run. below: window when starting app with GDK_BACKEND=x11 cargo run (xwayland). The window adopts the correct decorations from the theme and buttons are responsive.

That is because GTK uses Client Side Decorations on wayland. that way, the decorations will be identical on all linux desktops (including ~~WMs~~ tiling compositors, like Hyprland). I'm searching for a way to turn them off too, but probably it's not an option with webkit gtk

I can confirm this issue. Tauri 2.0 fixes the unresponsive button problem. If you maximize the window (via double clicking) the buttons start to become responsible again.

Confirmed this is still an issue on Gnome 48 using dioxus desktop 6.3

Wanted to report it, but here we are. The buttons become responsive after you maximize or minimize the window, but not if you switch between windows. The window title also doesn't change unless run under Xwayland: https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/issues/4425.
