Since commit 972134abe4 a frame getting
drawn has three states (with the vendor nvidia driver at least):
1. drawn by gtk waiting on the GPU
2. drawn by GPU waiting on the compositor
3. drawn by compositor
Those three states are encoded in two flags: frame_pending and
frame_still_painting.
frame_pending means step 1 is done, but step 2 and 3 are still
in progress. frame_still_painting means step 2 is still in progress.
After step 1 is finished the surface is frozen until step 3 is finished.
When the compositor notifies gtk it's done with step 3, with a
_NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN client message, the toolkit thaws the surface to
allow the next frame to proceed.
The compositor sometimes sends gtk a _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN client message
between steps 1 and 2. This message should be ignored because it's not
a reply to the current frame.
Unfortunately, gtk currently assumes if it gets a _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN
client message while waiting for step 2 that it's actually at step 3,
and proceeds to draw a new frame while the existing frame is still
pending, leading to a blown assertion.
This commit addresses the problem by ignoring _NET_WM_FRAME_DRAWN
client messages from the compositor unless actually expecting one.
Fixes: #2902
