Latte-dock with gnome

Latte v0.10.x can work at different desktop environments under X11 such as Gnome, XFCE, etc.
you will need of course plenty of plasma and kde dependencies but it should work.
Latte and Plasma under Wayland environment is also possible and is working acceptable.

Latte and Gnome Wayland currently is not supported, wayland is a totally new world and everyone is struggling to support it.

The reasons why Latte and Gnome Wayalnd does not not work yet are:

  1. Latte currently does not have any such implementtaion. If any gnome fix/patch/merge request is sent to the project of course and I will accept it as long as it does not break Latte functionality on other desktop environments
  2. Lately I fall into a blog article explaining why Plank which is the default dock for GTK environments does not support wayland yet at all. As it appears Gnome does not provide any solution yet for external docks to work under wayland.

I hope that explained it.
