This morning, I discovered the problem, but have no solution: In 22.04, Wayland is on by default. This breaks xpad and all other similar apps. It also breaks ability for any app to fix at a specific window position, I don't know details or design reasoning. Xpad, with Wayland on, cannot be moved or resized.

I turned Wayland off, and zpad would work correctly. but then Firefox will not even open, and a number of other applications are adversely affected. It appears to me that Wayland is poorly conceived and designed, but that's just me. I don't understand why it's necessary to change things that once worked.
