** Description changed:

- Hello,
+ [ Impact ]
  
  Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome45, it is no longer possible
  to restart gnome-shell without crashing the session. The only way not to
- crash it is to close all applications before restarting gnome-shell. I
- have verified this too.
+ crash it is to close all applications before restarting gnome-shell.
  
- This has already been reported upstream: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7050
- a tentative patch for mutter proposed: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/7050#note_1876598
+ This has already been fixed upstream at
+ https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3329
  
- Please consider reviewing/testing this patch and pushing an update so
- people can restart gnome-shell session without crashing it.
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 1. Log-in to a Ubuntu Xorg session
+ 2. Open some application windows
+ 3. Press Alt+F2
+ 4. Type 'restart' and press Enter
+ 5. Verify that the desktop reloaded correctly.
+ 6. Verify that the application windows that were previously open remained 
open.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The change should only affect application windows that were open before
+ gnome-shell take over as the x11 compositor, which is not the common
+ use-case.
+ 
+ There is a general regression potential in the handling of x11 windows, that 
is all apps in a GNOME Xorg session, or legacy apps that use XWayland (such as 
VLC, Mattermost, or most Electron and Java apps) in a GNOME Wayland session.
+ Watch out for the correct behaviour when opening/closing application windows.
