Currently, ddterm is a Gtk application, with a shell extensions that moves and resizes its window.

The extension constantly has to fight with GNOME's window manager, because the window manager has its own logic regarding positioning and resizing of the windows. It works ok on X11, but is unreliable on Wayland.

It should be possible to implement a terminal emulator using GNOME Shell's UI toolkit (St/Clutter) and https://xtermjs.org/. Such implementation would avoid all window management issues. But it would be a rewrite from scratch, with very little code reuse - should likely be a separate project.
