Gnome 42

I thought I would never reach a stable Gnome 42 install! The big issue was the mouse movement. Everything was fine under xorg, but mouse movement and overall screen image sucked under Wayland. Anyway, the mouse is sync’d to display resolution and my refresh rate was set to something like 24hz, I do not know how that happened. Either way, all fixed now.

Traditionally, GNOME Shell has been compressing pointer motion events so its handling is synchronized to the monitor refresh rate, this means applications would typically see approximately 60 events per second (or 144 if you follow the trends).
