See, users have complained about the focus issue, which was fixed after
0.3.3. So, the fix will be available in 0.3.4.

Then I can't just say: upgrade gtk-vnc to 0.3.4, because this new
version is too different from previous, with new symbols, and worse: new
behavior.

We were releasing 0.1, 0.2, 0.3.
0.3.1 came because 0.3.0 tarball was broken, and 0.3.1 was a fix only
release.

Why not continue with this approach?
