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

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

316 (Padraig O'Briain, Matthias Clasen, some from Tomas Kloczko)

326 * Fix for bug #129479, allows distinction between

598 getStateName () and STATE_EXTENDED to allow extension of State API (already
601 AccessibleAction_getType () and AccessibleAction_getTypeName ().
