Currently we check whether a window is alive everytime it's focused.
This means that an application that doesn't respond to the check-alive
event during startup always showing the "application froze" dialog,
without the user ever trying to interact with it.
An example where this tends to to happen is with games, and for this
particular scenario, it's purely an annoyance, as I never tried to
interact with the game window in the first place, so I don't care that
it's not responding - it's loading.
To avoid these unnecessary particular "app-is-frozen" popups, remove the
alive check from the focus function, and instead move it back to the
"meta_window_activate_full()" call. To also trigger it slightly more
often, also add it to the path that triggers the window focus when a
user actively clicks on the window.
This means that we currently check whether a window is alive on:
* Any time the window is activated. This means e.g. alt-tab or
selecting the window in the overview.
* The user clicks on the window.
Note that the second only works for an already focused window on
Wayland, as on X11, we don't refocus it. This particular case isn't
changed with this commit, as we didn't call meta_window_focus() to begin
with here.

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.

The coding style used is primarily the GNU flavor of the GNOME coding
style
with some minor additions such as preferring stdint.h types over GLib
fundamental types, and a soft 80 character line limit. However, in general,
look at the file you're editing for inspiration.
Commit messages should follow the GNOME commit message guidelines. We require an URL to either an issue or a merge request in each commit.
