I was profiling Firefox startup on Wayland, and I realized that we were
doing too much work because we get extra settings changed events, posted
from here:

We shouldn't post events for a screen we're just creating, because it
can make apps do too much work during startup. X11 had code for this.

- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
And anything else you think is relevant.
-
How to reproduce the bug.
If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built in the tests/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded.
-
If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred.
-
Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary.
