Bug Description

[Impact]
Users using desktop PC is not able to switch monitor mode between mirrored and joined mode using Super-P or keyboard shortcut. This SRU fixes the issue.

[Test Plan]
1. Use a desktop PC and start GNOME 3
2. Connect the PC with 2 monitors
3. Use Super-P to switch to joined display (note that using Displays from Settings does not trigger the issue)
4. Use Super-P to switch display mode again

Expected: Display Switcher popup should appear

Actual: Display Switcher does not popup

[Where problems could occur]
Although this change is minimal, the impact should be only on switching display mode using the shortcut.

[Version]
gnome-shell 42.2-0ubuntu0.2

This is the debdiff for gnome-shell 42.4-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 from jammy.

We would like this to be included in -proposed before next weekend (2022-09-23), so I am doing SRU in spite of Salsa merge request.

It's waiting on approval from Marco/Jeremy:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/64

but the same fix is already upstreamed in 42.5 so we might just be better to release gnome-shell 42.5 for jammy.
