As far as I can see this doesn't happen in practice, but theoretically
the uninitialized values can be used if:
1. `did_placement` is TRUE
2. `flags` contains both `META_MOVE_RESIZE_RESIZE_ACTION` and
also `META_MOVE_RESIZE_MOVE_ACTION`
3. `!meta_window_is_tied_to_drag (window)` is FALSE
In that case, the `frame_rect` variable (with uninitialized values) is
passed to `unconstrained_rect`, then passed to `constrained_rect`,
then finally the (uninitialized) X and Y values are read in the
`if (did_placement)` branch.
This is probably a regression from 3047b2ce261. I don't know if this is
the appropriate fix.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
