i'm reviving the PR integrating Tracy GPU profiling into Smithay. Here are two test captures from niri: one for normal + screencast rendering, one for iGPU + dGPU monitor rendering
Annotated Tracy recording showing render on the main GPU followed by import on the dGPU for the external monitor

Is there any good way of moving a process into a systemd StartTransientScope together with its children?
In niri we put spawned processes into scopes, so oomd and other stuff can work properly. Usually you do it by putting yourself into a scope, then exec-ing the target program. But that's a 7 ms toll on startup time, so in niri we spawn the program right away, and then put it into a scope. However, if the program forks fast enough, that child doesn't go into the scope..

Turns out GNOME Shell has the same problem: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/6565
I also wrote it down in a more detailed form on the niri issues for future reference: https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri/issues/3201

niri can now include the mouse pointer on window screenshots, a feature that had several more edge cases than I thought before starting to work on it (and it's likely not the ones you think, those ones were easy)
Loupe screenshot with pointer hovering an image drag-and-drop into the window.
Identity screenshot with a popup open and a pointer with tooltip hovering over a button in the popup.

@YaLTeR there's only a key binding for window screenshots, right?
How can you toggle between showing and hiding the pointer then?
