Nobody said there was a compile time conflict... the real question, which numerous people have failed to answer over the last couple of months, is: Does gtk-window-decorator built against libmetacity0 >= 2.15.21 work with libmetacity0 < 2.15.21? If not, the conflict just needs to be reversed or changed into a versioned dependency. > Another thing.
