This means we need to make sure we don't accidentally free the provided source GError (which automatically happens with `g_autoptr`), so use `g_steal_pointer()`. This fixes an issue where, when launched in a bubblewrap environment (such as the one provided by Buildstream), mutter would give the following warning message: ``` mutter-WARNING **: 8:31:35:069: Can't initialize KMS backend: (null) ``` ... which isn't that useful when trying to debug the actual issue. |

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.
