Add the plumbing necessary so that backends that want to can decide to implement background blur without forcing every other backend to do unnecessary extra work for background...

    Mutter merged an implementation of this protocol a few weeks ago: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5071.

    The author also made a fun demo of this: https://files.catbox.moe/q3ut43.mp4 (comment link).

    I thought GNOME policy was that they didn’t want to have blur due to accessibility

      It’s very possible that GNOME isn’t going to blur anything by default even if GTK supports it.

        I would like suttle blurs instead of fades here and there, if it does not impact performance.

          That’s basically the same - GTK supports those, GNOME doesn’t use them.
