** Description changed:

+ [ 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.
+
