Does that mean that setting the wallpaper using `wallpaper-set' doesn't
work when running gnome-shell under Wayland?
If you still have access to it, what is the value of the environment
variables $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, $WAYLAND_DISPLAY and $SWAYSOCK in this
configuration?
If you like, perhaps you could send the output of the `env' command to
me privately. Just edit out anything sensitive before sending it.

Thanks, I did not know about wmctrl. I took a look at its website
https://sites.google.com/site/tstyblo/wmctrl
but I could not find any way to set the wallpaper using it. Maybe I
missed it. Do you know if it can be done, and if so, how?
(We can check if it installed with `executable-find'.)

Hmm, this is interesting. It is clear that we need to extend
wallpaper.el to run another command first, to decide which command
should be run in various situations. I will look into it.

That will be much appreciated.
Thanks for all of the above, this is very useful.
