Verified the fix is present in mutter_3.36.3.orig.tar.xz but as
mentioned above, no known test case.

  [Impact]
  
  This is the #1 crasher of gnome-shell in Ubuntu 20.04, though it's
  duplicated across multiple problem reports according to locale:

  [Test Case]
  
  None known. The plan is to just continue monitoring crash reports.
  Still, we are confident this is the fix because:
  
   * The offending source code in libx11 tells us it is :) and
   * The crash only started in Ubuntu with gnome-shell 3.34, which is the
     exact release in which XInitThreads was removed from mutter.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  
  Low. We add a single function call that tells libX11 to enable thread
- safety. This same function call as one we had in bionic, cosmic and
- disco.
+ safety. This is the same as what we had in bionic, cosmic and disco, so
+ it's well tested.
