Hi
I’m using gnome on wayland.
When I use my touchpad to change my workspace this window appears:
Its a bit annoying. Is there a way to disable it?

What applications do you have open in the workspace that you’re switching from and switching to? For example the VMware Horizon client tries to do funky stuff with your mouse and keyboard that Wayland doesn’t allow by default. There’s some sort of weird interaction there that seems to happen when switching workspaces that makes this thing pop up for me all the time.
@ledeni I have it already disabled
@mattipulkkinen It doesn’t matter. e.g. for now I have only my brave browser in my workspace, but if I close it, this window will appear anyway.
That dialog disappears if you remove the gnome portal:

well, but afaik I need this gnome portal for some X applications that use screen sharing. Am I right?
Have you tried without it?
Uhm that sounds like a pretty bad idea? Disabling whatever causes these remote interaction requests sounds like the correct approach
@gucio321 no the portal is needed for screensharing with Wayland apps afaik
So what should be disabled?
This one sounds interessting

The remote stuff, not the portal. I dont use GNOME so cant help, but portals are essential for modern apps
I was experiencing the same problem. Uninstalling touchegg solved it for me.
dnf remove touchegg
unfortunately, I don’t have this one installed, however thats a good point, I need to find out what is responsible for touchpad gesture in fedora/gnome.
hi i have same problem. do you find any solutions?
Unfortuantely, I didn’t find any solution on fedora. I use arch now and this proble is gone here.
@gucio321 Do you mean that in Arch, with GNOME 48, you don’t have the popup anymore (even in Wayland)?
yes, but iirc this worked in earlier gnome versions (tbh I can’t remember if it even happened on arch at all
In Arch, GNOME 48, Wayland, the popup still appears
Try
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter.wayland xwayland-disable-extension '["Xtest"]'
then logout and login. It disabels the X11 Xtest extension in Xwayland, which is plumbed to the remote desktop portal for backward compatibility reasons.
