Description
Environment
Windows build number: 21364.1
Your Distribution version: Arch (up to date)
Your WSLg version: 1.0.17.1
Steps to reproduce
When I was using x410 I had set up an xfce4 panel to house all my commonly used GUI apps. I have a script that launches xfce4 panel.
xfce4-panel --sm-client-disable --disable-wm-check &> /dev/null
If I unlock an existing panel and attempt to drag it to a new position on the screen it does not move, though the "drag" icon appears properly.
WSL logs:
Expected behavior
I expect the xfce panel to retain its position on launch and be able to be moved when unlocked.
Actual behavior
The panel still appears when launched but its position seems to change every launch and when unlocked and I cannot drag it to a new position.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the reported xfce4-panel --sm-client-disable --disable-wm-check command and inspect weston.log for panel positioning or input-handling clues. Compare the panel's launch position and unlocked drag behavior against the expected behavior described in the issue; done means the panel retains its position and can be moved when unlocked.
