GNOME Shell *is* Mutter. The shell uses libmutter which provides the whole
windowing system logic as well as the interface with the rest of the
windowing system (both input and output). Mutter is just a simple binary
that uses libmutter internally in the same way the Shell does but without
all the logic and UI provided by the Shell.
