Monitor switcher popup (Super-P) is not displayed on desktop with joined display on Wayland

[Yao Wei]

[Impact]
Users using desktop PC is not able to switch monitor mode between mirrored and joined mode using Super-P or keyboard shortcut. This SRU fixes the issue.

[Test Plan]
1. Use a desktop PC and start GNOME 3
2. Connect the PC with 2 monitors
3. Use Super-P to switch to joined display (note that using Displays from Settings does not trigger the issue)
4. Use Super-P to switch display mode again

Expected: Display Switcher popup should appear

Actual: Display Switcher does not popup

[Where problems could occur]
Although this change is minimal, the impact should be only on switching display mode using the shortcut.

Update Jammy: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/64

[Yao Wei (medicalwei)]

This is the debdiff for gnome-shell 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 from jammy.

We would like this to be included in -proposed before next weekend (2022-09-23), so I am doing SRU in spite of Salsa merge request.

[Jay Chen (jay-ch)]

I was told it is now on Marco's (@3v1n0) backlog before going on a SRU for Jammy
will check in again when status is more visible

[Michael Lin (weihsiang-lin)]

Hi,

In order to meet our customer's schedule expectation, would you please upload this solution to -proposed before Oct. 29, 2022? Thanks for your support.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It's waiting on approval from Marco/Jeremy:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/64

but the same fix is already upstreamed in 42.5 so we might just be better to release gnome-shell 42.5 for jammy.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Hello Yao, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-shell into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/42.5-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
