Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* gnome-shell may crash and log-out the user when closing a Wayland
window that uses subsurfaces.
* The crash is specific to certain applications and requires a
specific event sequence to trigger, which makes it hard to reproduce.
[ Test Plan ]
1. sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
2. wget
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/2093237/+attachment/5853638/+files/sdl2-reproducer.c
3. gcc sdl2-reproducer.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs sdl2) -o
sdl2-reproducer
4. SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland ./sdl2-reproducer
5. Verify that a black window with a titlebar has opened
6. Close the window by clicking on the X button
7. Verify that the desktop did not crash and did not log you out.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* gnome-shell provides the GNOME desktop, and thus is a critical
component.
* A bug in the patch could manifest with applications not receiving
mouse inputs correctly, or with the desktop crashing and logging the
user out.
