    Description

      The following Qt application moves a QWidget window on all desktops, except Ubuntu  Wayland:

      #include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QWidget w = QWidget();    

    w.setWindowTitle("Window Move");
    w.setFixedSize(300, 200);    

    // Move window does not work on Ubuntu Wayland, works on X11
    w.move(1000, 600);    

    w.show();

    return a.exec();
}

      On Ubuntu Wayland, the window is always created in the upper left corner and does not move to the x, y location:
