When a window is being resized by the compositor, with Wayland the
compositor first asks the window to change its size and emits the
"size-change" signal, and then emits the "size-changed" signal after
the window acknowledges the new size. To show a fancy resize animation,
gnome-shell creates a "screenshot" of the resizing window on the
"size-change" signal, and later animates that "screenshot" to the new
window size on the "size-changed" signal.
Now if a client is not responding to our requests asking it to change
its size, we get a "size-change" signal and start showing the
window-clone, but never a "size-changed" signal, animating and hiding
the clone again. This causes a so called "ghost window" that is shown
above everything else and never disappears again.
To fix that, start showing the window clone once we get the
"size-changed" signal instead of the "size-change" signal. This makes
sure the window actually updates its size and the clone is going to be
hidden again.
