Freeze break: fix bug with Mutter and toolkit window positioning
Would like to push the patches: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736719 The bug they fix is fairly bad misbehavior with non-GTK+ apps, in particular with Qt apps. They are pretty straightforward, and basically are reverting back to an earlier version of the code and I specifically tested that they also fix the original problem with VirtualBox. - Owen ___ release-team@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?

Hum, as Sri is not a release team member, here's a +1 to replace his :) Fred ___ release-team@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
