[ Impact ] This bug affects to any user that works with the keyboard instead a mouse, and mainly to those that depend on a screen reader, because the desktop icons window has an odd name like "@!0,0;BDHF". This has been fixed upstream and in Questing: https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/merge_requests/447 [ Test plan ] To test this, just keep pressed Ctrl+Alt+TAB. A popup window will appear with four elements, and one of them will be the desktop window(s). If the window has the name "Desktop icons 1", then it works fine; if it has an odd name like "@!0,0;BDHF", then it's not working. There will be one window per physical monitor. [ Where problems could occur ] The patch touches mainly the extension itself, and the "X11 emulator for Wayland". This can result, if there is a bug, in an incorrect window size and/or placement, resulting in desktop icons misplaced, or even a failure to launch the desktop icons application.
