231 button changes (this was formerly our fallback method);
232 this prevents conflict with Xstroke.
233 [a better long-term fix requires the Xevie extension]

260 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
262 * fixed make distcheck.

321 (Padraig O'Briain, Matthias Clasen, some from Tomas Kloczko)
323 * bugfixes (bad g_free, and a null string issue that caused SEGV on

331 * Fix for bug #129479, allows distinction between

594 * Made Accessibility_StateSet inherit from BonoboUnknown as it should;
595 this was the main existing breakage in StateSet.
603 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
606 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
608 need getBaseAttributes ()
609 for AccessibleText (available in ATK I think).
611 table: getVisibleRange
613 state: HEADER, etc. for spreadsheet cells
