Thank you! I think with this Gala is finally usable at least on mutter 48 right?
Just for future reference ig we should do the setup in the set_actor virtual 🤷

While mutter and gnome-shell devs are phasing out
Clutter.get_default_backend (), it's still there. Getting context through the actor isn't working because there isn't any assigned actor, so the whole thing just crashes. Gnome-shell exposes global stage and gets context from there, but this solution would require to re-engineerWindowManagerGalato be a singleton. Another solution is to pass context directly to the effect. Both options are out of scope for me because I'm not very familiar with the codebase.Backtrace without this patch
