Bug 412428

I noticed after upgrading to 5.16.90 that automatic suspension of compositing doesn't appear to be working for me anymore. I was going back to some more freesync testing, and noticed it wasn't turning on in any game. This included native games (Talos, SS3, etc), Feral Ports, and Proton games. I know at least the native/Feral games used to send the flag to turn it off automatically, which I thought was actually done at the SDL level. I have the settings "Allow Applications to Block Compositing" ticked off in System Settings. I am not sure when this actually broke (or if it is supposed to still work).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Steam
2. Launch any game in full screen
3. Notice that compositing isn't disabled (and things like Freesync are blocked)

Reproducible:

Always for me.

Work around:

1) Press  "shift" + "alt" + "f12"
2) Compositor turns off, things like Freesync immediately start working.
