Title:
  Debug mode MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always doesn't work anymore

Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in mutter source package in Noble:
  Fix Released
Status in mutter source package in Oracular:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Debug mode MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always doesn't result in
  triple buffering being used anymore.

  [ Test Plan ]

  1. Add MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=always to /etc/environment
  2. Reboot.
  3. Log into a Wayland session.
  4. Open a Terminal window and drag it in circles with the mouse.
  5. Verify there is a slight lag between the mouse pointer position and the 
window position. This means it's always triple buffering (or you accidentally 
logged into a Xorg session).

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  Anywhere in frame scheduling, including screen freezes and stutter.

  [ Other Info ]

  This regression occurred in 46.0 as a result of jbicha and myself
  working a little too independently. Jeremy identified that the
  upstream branch supported 46 and cherry-picked that for the Noble
  release, while I was still working on creating a stable maintenance
  branch for 46 in
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/mutter/-/tree/triple-
  buffering-v4-46

  Fortunately it's very low priority and nobody has actually reported
  it.
