GNOME Shell and Mutter Updated for the GNOME 3.24.2 Desktop with More Bug Fixes

Besides various miscellaneous bug fixes, GNOME Shell 3.24.2 comes with better support for handling errors from GNOME Shell extensions during reloading when settings are being changed, improved StEntry::primary-icon-clicked emission, support for allowing search providers to offer clipboard text for results, and the ability to fetch weather information only when there’s a valid location available. On the other hand, Mutter 3.24.2 comes with a better copy and paste of UTF-8 strings between the Wayland and X.Org Server (X11) display servers, better support for non-Wayland builds, support for accessing screen coordinates on X11, a fix for a crash that occurred when Wayland clients attempted to commit to destroyed surfaces, and a fix for frame updates when the “hide-titlebar-when-maximized” option is changed.
