Regression: Gnome shell has red tint after installation of Nvidia proprietary drivers

[Esokrates]

Upstream report of this issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4071

A colleague tested the latest daily of Ubuntu 21.10 and had a red tint after installing the proprietary nvidia drivers. Did not happen with gnome-shell versions < 40.
Changing display refresh rate made the red tint go away.

This report should serve as a reminder to fix this bug before it hits the masses after release.
If you need more specific info I'll request it from my colleague, he did not want to bother reporting the bug himself.

The bug doesn't seem to happen for most Nvidia users so it's not yet high priority. Regardless, the conversation should stay in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/4071
