Yup.

Yes.

Okay, but actually the Lucid build doesn't have that problem with the 
scaled desktop. It "just works", or seems to. So I'm testing it with 
200% scaling.

So, Lucid build, under Mutter:

- Resizing works, more or less. Moving a frame by its mode-line works as 
well without stutters.
- The right-bottom corner still jumps away. When I drag the frame by the 
mode-line, it (the corner) also jumps at first, the same distance.
- Same with moving or resizing a child frame.
- tumashu's child frame moving test scenario is still slow.

E.g.

  (benchmark 1 `(set-frame-position ,test-frame 50 50))
  => 0.5s
