Bug Description

Impact
------
3.24.1 is a new bugfix release in the stable 3.24 series. Although mutter and gnome-shell could be handled separately, it makes sense to handle them together since they're so closely tied together.

This has several fixes for GNOME Shell 3.24's new Weather feature built-in to the clock menu. There are quite a few other bugfixes too.

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/log?h=gnome-3-24
https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/log?h=gnome-3-24

Test Case
---------
In Ubuntu GNOME, install the update then reboot. Log in.

Do the same with Ubuntu Budgie (or you can install budgie-desktop on top of Ubuntu GNOME and then log in to Budgie afterwards.)

Regression Potential
--------------------
The biggest risk is that something in the update causes Budgie or GNOME Shell to no longer work. If GNOME Shell is broken, it could break gdm which is very bad for Ubuntu GNOME users.

I installed mutter 3.24.1-0ubuntu1 and gnome-shell 3.24.1-0ubuntu1 and used them all week. It feels like it works as well as the old version. The Weather feature works a bit better.

Installed the proposed packages mutter and mutter-common on Ubuntu Budgie. Logged out and logged in. Ran a few applications. All works as expected.
