window-rules: options such as workspace all, which moniter to go on, and wether to make windows never overlap (EG: bar)

Please describe what you want Wayfire to do.
I would like more options for the window rules plugin such as:

• windows on every workspace
• options for which screen a window should be on
• options as to wether the window should stop windows from overlapping EG: a taskbar
• options for if the user can move/resize a window
• options for always ontop
• also when I have the window place set to maximise on it appears to overide window-rules which I think is silly

If applicable, give an example: User does X, Y, Wayfire does Z
In my case I wanted to write a taskbar for wayfire as the available options aren't the best and I am writing in gtk 4 which doesn't allow me to place windows so I am using window place and finding that it doesn't have enough features for this.

@godalming123 If you're writing a taskbar, have a look at how it's done in wf-shell. You'll need to use layer-shell protocol. It will allow you to reserve space for the taskbar.

But I thought that wasn't available for gtk4 see phuhl/linux_notification_center#26 (comment)

That is a GTK4 problem. Anyway, you are really better of writing a custom plugin to do this. I don't think adding immovable property to window-rules makes any sense.

How should I do that?
