Motivation for this change
The last few months I have run into an issue where if my machine resumes from suspend (Intel NUC8i5, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655), Mutter segfaults, loses the whole session, and I am back in GDM. Shortened stack trace:
In the Mutter commit history I found the same call stack with Valgrind errors:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/56ddaaa3809240a357b5e19b5789d1aa49aaecc3
I have applied this patch two days ago and Mutter hasn't crashed since. I guess that NixOS 19.09 will probably not ship with GNOME 3.34, so it would be nice to have this fix in 19.09.
