Done. Let me know if I can provide anything else

I only downgraded gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common. I left mutter as
it was.

Something else strange that I noticed: if I disable hardware
acceleration, then enable it again, chrome appears to work fine. So the
behavior I'm seeing looks like:

- Start at v42.0 of gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common
- Upgrade to v42.9 of gnome-shell and gnome-shell-common
- Note strange rendering in chrome
- Logout/login
- Note strange rendering in chrome persists
- Reboot
- Note strange rendering in chrome persists
- Disable hardware acceleration in chrome
- Note rendering in chrome is now fixed
- Enable hardware acceleration in chrome
- Note rendering in chrome still works
