The list of applications affected were listed by Kjartan and Vincent on 
this thread previously.

I guess my stand point is not so much which way should the community fix 
this, but rather
a complete release of 2.24.0 rather than a patchy one. If every distros 
have to fix this
downstream, would be better one fix upstream in GNOME :).

Another more selfish reason, we want to release 2.24.0 in the next 
public release rather than 2.22.x,
since there are applications within our release which will be impacted 
by the decision here,
we like to find out here too and give them the head up :)
