Hi Joel, The activation is split into two distinct processes/phases: - start-up and activate - switching application For the first part, the agl-shell client registers an event handler which the compositor sends whenever an new application starts. When that event comes in, it has the application id and with it, a certain state. It is then when the agl-shell client activates the application. This used to be handled implicitly by the compositor, but it is handled explicitly now. If the application doesn't have an application id, we can't activate it. For the second part, this is trigged by input user events, is similar to the first one, it is merely an activation request. This has the effect that whenever a new application starts it it will be automatically activated by the shell client. If you don't see zenity displayed from the beginning I speculate that maybe it doesn't have an application id set-up. By modifying the [core] section and change `activate-by-default=false` to `true` would instruct the compositor to always map/display the application starting up. Switching applications can also be done programmatically using gRPC interface -- we have a simple application called agl-shell-activator (see -h) that uses that under hood, assuming you know the application id. The application id is taken from https://wayland.app/protocols/xdg-shell#xdg_toplevel:request:set_app_id Fyi, this is not specific to flutter-auto, so if zenity doesn't show up on flutter-auto it won't on other platforms either. If the section ini doesn't work, let me know so I can take a look.
