<pre>Tracker bug for the experiment to implement fake mode-setting for xwayland. The
idea is to not really set the mode but to make clients believe they can and to
scale their output accordingly.
The main motivation is to work around the fact that a lot of legacy
applications, especially proprietary ones, don't support different screen
resolutions and therefore fail to start in xwayland. This is a regression for a
number of users, potentially preventing them to switch to wayland-based
compositors (e.g. using gnome-X11 instead of gnome-wayland).
