From the source tree:
- cd mutter-3.26.1/
- cp src/backends/x11/meta-renderer-x11.c src/backends/x11/meta-renderer-x11.c.orig
- sed 's/cogl_xlib_renderer_set_threaded_swap_wait_enabled (cogl_renderer, TRUE/cogl_xlib_renderer_set_threaded_swap_wait_enabled (cogl_renderer, FALSE/' -i src/backends/x11/meta-renderer-x11.c
Now compile, install and restart it..
The problem arise from a timing issue.
