[Bug 1918874] Re: [regression] Application windows appear over the icon grid when Ubuntu Dock or Dash To Dock is loaded

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

between now and January 2022 (when 21.04 reaches EOL)

That is actually the reason why I wanted to carry those patch, but for
the other way around: upstream code changed so much on those aspects,
that I don't expect ANY fix coming from 3.38 on the input side, while I
do expect improvements on  the input-thread code, so keeping in sync
with upstream on it would allow us to have upstream fixes and support.

> Also, while we spend days and weeks fixing these regressions in the
input thread backport to 3.38, that's time we don't get to spend on
GNOME 40/41 for Ubuntu 21.10 and 22.04.

Don't agree here, as I personally did few fixes upstream on the input
side that I wouldn't probably have done otherwise, so be in sync with
upstream allows us to work with such code, addressing both upstream and
downstream interests.
