Description

**Describe the bug**

I have a multi-monitor setup on wayland. The option to make the terminal appear on the mouse screen only works when the mouse enter certain windows (in my case Microsoft Teams chat and Guake Preferences, but I believe that any XWayland window would work).
Example: I put the Teams window so that it spans all monitors. If the mouse is inside the window on monitor X then guake appears on monitor X. If the mouse leaves the window on monitor X and then I move it to monitor Y then guake will pop up on monitor X instead on Y.

**Expected behavior**

Guake should pop up where the cursor is

**Actual behavior**

Guake pops up where the cursor has been seen last by X server
