Thank you for your suggestion! I'll test it in VMs and roll out. |

I'm on Ubuntu 25.10 with wayland and I kept having this error:

I have no merit in this as Gemini proposed this fix to reorder the watcher priority to make it work with gnome, wayland and the focused window dbus extension. Someone on COSMIC might have to make sure it still works.
I've decided to push this fix as it might help someone else having the same problem. Now the application works number one for me.
