I wrote a gtk program in Rust that did all its work in the wrong place. It locked up the ability to move ANY windows on the desktop for several seconds. That's a compositor design issue if ever there was one. Is that going to get fixed?

If it was an X11 app, there are several things that can cause that that are just unfixable, unfortunately (e.g. XLockDisplay). If it was a Wayland app, that sounds like a bug in the compositor. If you still have a repro case, please file it.
It was gnome on wayland.
