Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2021-358f502f0e
2021-10-07 17:17:56.418132
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mutter
Product : Fedora 34
Version : 40.5
Release : 2.fc34
URL :
http://www.gnome.org
Summary : Window and compositing manager based on Clutter
Description :
Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages
your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine
using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited
from the Metacity window manager.
While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be
used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. For
this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used both
to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management
behaviors to meet the needs of the environment.

Update Information:
This update provides mutter 40.5, with several bug fixes from upstream. It also
fixes a problem where, if you run GNOME on Wayland in a qemu virtual machine
using the virtio virtual graphics adapter, the real cursor position inside the
VM is slightly offset from where the cursor is shown on the screen. The bug
doesn't happen if you use the qxl adapter, or run GNOME on X11. The update needs
to be applied to the guest, not the host.

* Tue Oct 5 2021 Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> - 40.5-2
