documents, and organizing open windows in GNOME.

This fix has to make it at least on the live disks for 13.1
=> At least the screen is not flickering as crazy.

the issue is not fixed, but worked around.. and the branded wallpaper
fails often from loading... but this is still MUCH better than the
ugly flickering.

Work is ongoing with upstream to get to the root of the problem. There
is a chance to find the fix between RC2 and GM, but in worst case we
can do an online update to make final fixes on installed machines.

- Add gnome-shell-no_clear_hint.patch: Work around refresh issues.
  This is not the final solution; the wallpaper is often not
  loaded, but at least it stops the screen from flickering wildly,
  giving a much less broken experience (bgo#709313, bnc#844891). (forwarded request 203694 from Zaitor)

Hi! I've been helping the GNOME Project test patches that fix multiple very common GNOME Shell 40 and 41 crashes, as seen in this pull request:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2029

The patches fix 1 crash that happens with vanilla GNOME, and multiple crashes that happens with extensions that incorrectly add "OR windows" to GNOME's overview (this is done by extensions such as Pop Shell).

These are severe and very disruptive crashes of the entire GNOME desktop, and the patch fixes all of them. So I suggest that openSUSE applies those patches too, so that users won't have to wait for upcoming GNOME releases.
