+Subject: gdk/wayland: save custom xdg-activation startup_id
+
+We must save the startup id. in gdk_wayland_display_notify_startup_complete
+which was set by a previous gtk_window_set_startup_id call so we can use it
+later when presenting the window.
+
+Needed for activation of gnome-terminal (also needs patches on the application
+side, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/7952).
+
+Fixes #5386

+Subject: window: focus on window show for wayland activation
+
+When using xdg_activation this is responsible for submitting
+the activation token / startup id to the compositor.
+
+This supersedes 5dca6dce91b4413064c858ae011ea7b1e33421e2, which misses the case
+where the window is shown with gtk_widget_show instead of gtk_window_present.
+Note 5dca6dce91 was also accidentally missing on the xdg-activation GTK3 port.
+
+Fixes #5386
