** 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
  
  [ 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
+    journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell
  
- 5. Over your idle desktop just wiggle the mouse continuously.
+ 5. Over your idle desktop just wiggle the mouse continuously for at
+ least 5 seconds.
  
  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.
