The standard window manager for GNOME shell.

I pushed the non-Lisp changes to the release branch and the mouse.el
changes to master.

I think we should "advertise" the GTK related changes in PROBLEMS.
Sooner or later the GTK child frame resizing problem has to be fixed
outside Emacs although I currently see no chance that we can convince
people to look into it.  Like

*** Emacs run under the mutter WM cannot resize child frames

When running Emacs on GNOME shell under the mutter window manager, it
cannot resize child frames.  Emacs provides a workaround by setting the
option 'x-gtk-resize-child-frames' to either 'hide' or 'resize-mode'.
This option is considered a temporary workaround with restricted
functionality (child frames still cannot display scroll bars in that
environment) and will be hopefully removed as soon as a stable solution
to the problem has been found.

WDYT?
