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

247 posting windows, etc.) during login or re-login/authentication.
249 * fixed make distcheck.
251 * Added a check in cspi_object_unref, which should help in detecting

590 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
593 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
