If an effect is active and it overrides the paint volume, we should always recompute the paint volume when requested and not use the cache, since the paint volume override can change from call to call depending on what phase of painting we are in. For instance, if we are part way through painting effects and request the paint volume, the paint volume should only go up to the current effect, but in a later call to compute repaint regions, the paint volume needs to expand to accomadate the effect. This still involves a lot of recomputation in the case of effects - in a later clutter version it would be worth adding an API to allow effects to explicitly recompute and return a new the paint volume up to the current effect as opposed to recomputing the cached one. |

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 GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
