Bug#1099884: mutter: Failed upgrade from gnome 47 to 48: crash at gdm3 startup: white screen

[R. Lemos]

I've just upgraded some gnome packages (32 actually) to 48~rc-2 (from
a previous 48~beta-something) and gnome-session is finally running
again. No more crashes.

The message "Failed to setup: Unable to create a suitable EGL context"
was replaced by "Obtained a high priority EGL context" .

Thank you for your attention.
I think I can leave this bug now. But I'm still open to any further
test you need.
