When a touch sequence was rejected, we'd update the event timestamps of
incoming touch events to help with implementing grabs. This was done by
sending a ClientMessage with a counter, and comparing the counter to
decide whether we're seing a replayed event or not.
This had the unforseen consequence that we would potentially end up
destroying all actors including the stage, since, when mutter receives a
ClientMessage event, it would assume that it's a WM_PROTOCOLS event, and
handle it as such. The problem with this approach is that it would
ignore fact that there might be other ClientMessage types sent to it,
for example the touch synchronization one. What could happen is that the
touch count value would match up with the value of the WM_DELETE_WINDOW
atom, clutter would treat this as WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW, which
it'd translate to clutter_actor_destroy(stage).
Destroying the stage in such a way is not expected, and caused wierd
crashes in different places depending on what was going on.
This commit make sure we only treat WM_PROTOCOLS client messages as
WM_PROTOCOLS client messages effectively avoiding the issue.
This fixes crashes such as:
