** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
  Mouse input latency in Wayland sessions is slightly higher in 23.10 than
  22.04 at the moment.
  
  I might be imagining things and it does feel like only one frame higher
  latency. But experimenting with MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING seems to
  confirm my suspicion:
  
-  BAD:  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=auto (the Ubuntu default)
-  BAD:  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always
-  GOOD: MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=never
+  BAD:  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=auto (the Ubuntu default)
+  BAD:  MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always
+  GOOD: MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=never

+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+ 0. Find a machine with an Intel GPU.
+ 
+ 1. Add this to /etc/environment: CLUTTER_DEBUG=frame-timings
+ 
+ 2. Reboot.
+ 
+ 3. Log in to a Wayland session and wait for the desktop to become idle.
+ 
+ 4. Also log in via ssh from a remote machine and run:
+    journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell
+ 
+ 5. Over your idle desktop just wiggle the mouse continuously.
+ 
+ 6. In your ssh login, verify that the resulting log messages from gnome-
+ shell say "[FRAME_TIMINGS]: Double buffering:" and not "[FRAME_TIMINGS]:
+ Triple buffering:" when only the mouse pointer is moving.
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ In the frame rate and latency of the Ubuntu desktop experience.
