Update compare_resolution function (BugFix)

[mckees]

Description

The current compare_resolution function uses deprecated functions, and it appears that any solution using Gdk with Wayland will fail to locate a primary monitor (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/1028). Additionally, this change adds a hint if an error arises

Tests

I tested the function on its own locally, but @LiaoU3 will run further tests before merging

There is no tkinter module in checkbox, hence, for snap you could add python3-tk here (Don't forget to do this on all series), and for debian you could add python3-tk here

@mckees Is the failed message as you expected? Since it looks like somehow it can still create a window, but the resolution is 0*0
