We started tracking all windows to make sure the assumption that any window can be match to an app holds. It is not expected however to ever represent OR windows in the UI, so it seems better to exclude them from get_windows() instead of expecting everyone to filter the return value themselves. (The returned list still includes "uninteresting" windows like attached dialogs, which can be important for cases like the correct MRU order in alt-tab) https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5233 Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2252>
