Modal ungrabs may be followed by other clients trying to grab themselves, flush the connection so we ensure the right order of events on the Xserver side. An example of this is js/ui/modalDialog.js in gnome-shell, as the alt-F2 dialog may launch X11 clients trying to grab themselves, commit a40daa3c22 in gnome-shell handled the case and added a gdk_display_sync() call to ensure no grab existed at the time of executing. This commit aims to achieve the same built in MetaBackend. A full sync seems excessive though, as we just need to make sure the server got the messages queued before the other side tries to grab, a XFlush seems sufficient for this. |

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 af 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.
