You might be very right about unfortunate interaction between Chrome (and
Chromium) and mutter frame timings, since I did tried "CLUTTER_DEFAULT_FPS=85"
(and 84) env. value and it made 0 difference.
Yeah, but by setting 1 and using any other WM results in Chromium/Chrome being
VSYNC-ed, or at least it looks like it is, there's no tear line and picture is
smooth as it can be (while on mutter/clutter there's tear line), so for the
sake of standardisation i would call it mutter/clutter configuration bug that
will probably stay unresolved, plus it doesn't explain DRI2 behavior that
follows same standard :).</pre>
