Bug description:
[ Impact ]
On some systems, when you open the Firefox snap right after having
logged in into an Ubuntu on Wayland session, you are met by a black
window. This happens because the FF snap is run under Xwayland, and
Xwayland may not be enabled early enough to handle the start of the
application properly.
You can easily reproduce the issue in a Wayland session:
* Close Firefox
* Run the command "killall Xwayland" in terminal
* Open Firefox
An upstream mutter change addresses this issue, and the proposed lunar
change cherry picks that upstream change as a patch.
[ Test Plan ]
On an updated Ubuntu 23.04:
* Install the mutter related binaries from lunar-proposed
* Reboot and log in to an Ubuntu on Wayland session
* Run the command "killall Xwayland"
* Open the Firefox snap, and find that it starts normally
[ Where problems could occur ]
This is the upstream merge request in question:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/2970
The changes (except for the test related ones) are small, and
specifically intended to address issues like the one reported in this
bug. There are also reviews by a couple of experienced GNOME devs.
So even if the proposed change is not well tested yet, it seems to me
that the risk for adverse side effects is limited.
The merge request was accepted upstream and will be included in mutter
44.2 which should be released approximately May 29.
