Screen sharing in Signal Desktop has finally been fixed for Wayland, see:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/5350

However, I had to install the following packages to make it work in my installation:

xdg-desktop-portal (not sure if this one is needed)
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome

I think these packages should be added as dependencies or optional dependencies.
This task depends upon

As per [1], apps (opt)depend on "xdg-desktop-portal" then users decide which backend to use via the virtual dep on "xdg-desktop-portal-impl" depending on which environment they are using.
