hangapp.py

Description of problem:
Metacity and compiz could detect when an application was unresponsive for several seconds and could offer the user to force quit the window.
Mutter/gnome-shell does not seem to do that. Clicking the close button of an unresponsive window has no effect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-2.91.90-2.fc15.x86_64
mutter-2.91.90-2.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run the attached reproducer (a simple pygtk application)
2. click on the "Hang this application" button
3. try to close the window
  
Actual results:
Nothing happens, the window won't go away.

Expected results:
The window manager should offer me to force the closing of the window / kill the unresponsive application.

No changes, but yeah, doesn't seem to be working in a quick test here. Moved upstream.
