/*
 * restart:
 *
 * Smoothly restart the compositor
 *
 * There are some cases where we need to restart Mutter in order
 * to deal with changes in state - the particular case inspiring
 * this is enabling or disabling stereo output. To make this
 * fairly smooth for the user, we need to do two things:
 *
 *  - Display a message to the user and make sure that it is
 *    actually painted before we exit.
 *  - Use a helper program so that the Composite Overlay Window
 *    isn't unmapped and mapped.
 *
 * This handles both of these.
