Via 'x-set-frame-size-and-position' IIUC. But elsewhere you say it's
broken.

That was the idea.

I installed a newer Debian from a Live CD a few days ago on another
machine but still with an xfce setup. There I installed a newer version
of mutter and after installing a thing called pipewire things works more
or less.

Unlikely. It rather belongs to those mutter jokes whenever it finds
"another cracksmoker" (you can find these in their window-props.c).

Not really, yet.
