Bug Description
[ Impact ]
New windows don't get centered if Desktop Icons NG is loaded.
With vanilla GNOME, if an app window is too large for tiling (larger than a quarter of the screen) then it will be centered by default. But this doesn't happen when DING is loaded, probably because DING is incorrectly treated as an app window.
The scope of this bug has now been reduced to only cover gnome-initial-
[ Test Plan ]
1. Log into a Wayland session.
2. Run: sudo apt install gnome-initial-setup
3. Run: /usr/libexec/
4. Verify: The window is centered.
[ Where problems could occur ]
Anywhere in window placement when a new window opens.
