slave: don't save root windows anymore (7.99 KB, patch)

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2013-02-20 18:01:55 UTC 
GDM currently saves a screenshot to a pixmap and puts its
XID in the _XROOTPMAP_ID root window property.

It does this because gnome-settings-daemon used to use the
_XROOTPMAP_ID to figure out a start frame to crossfade from.

g-s-d doesn't do that anymore, all background handling is
now down by gnome-shell, and gnome-shell does its own
screenshotting.

This commit strips that functionality from gdm.
