When the before-paint function is executed, it's only purpose
is to check if there's any scanout queue, and immediately
record it if any.
However, since [1], we regressed in this specific case with the
introduction of an idle callback in the before-paint function.
The regression only happens when the PipeWire stream is using
DMA-BUF buffers, and it would operate as follows:
1. In before-paint, when there's a scanout available, we queue
an idle callback to capture the monitor. The idle callback
(almost always) executes after the scanout is pulled from
the stage view
2. meta_screen_cast_stream_src_maybe_record_frame() is called
by the idle callback. In the DMA-BUF case, it then runs
meta_screen_cast_monitor_stream_src_record_to_framebuffer()
3. In meta_screen_cast_monitor_stream_src_record_to_framebuffer(),
because the stage view doesn't have a scanout anymore, it
ends up calling cogl_blit_framebuffer() with the stage view
framebuffer. This is the regression bug.
This regression presents itself in the form of the screencast
stream showing the desktop when there's an unredirected fullscreen
application window running.
Revert before-paint - and only that - back to immediately capturing
any available scanout. Only record these frames when the target
buffer is a DMA-BUF handle. Nothing is captured on before-paint if
the stream is not using DMA-BUF, since the regular paint routine
will handle these frames regularly post-paint.

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.

Git messages
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message
guidelines. We require an URL
to either an issue or a merge request in each commit. Try to always prefix
commit subjects with a relevant topic, such as compositor: or
clutter/actor:, and it's always better to write too much in the commit
message body than too little.
Default branch
The default development branch is main. If you still have a local
checkout under the old name, use:
git checkout master
git branch -m master main
git fetch
git branch --unset-upstream
git branch -u origin/main
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
