Thanks for the heads-up.

For reference, here's the merge request for such update in GTK: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/35

WebKitGTK does not use the xdg-shell protocol at all: it provides a widget
for GTK, and GTK is ultimately responsible to decide how to interact with
the compositor.

The WPE port only uses the xdg-shell (in particular zxdg-shell-v6) in the
MiniBrowser, which is intended only for testing.

Or does the reporter of the issue mean something else?

No, that's it exactly. We just need to fix WPE MiniBrowser.
