You make it sound as if that change didn't cause any problems.  But it
did cause rather big problems for the Perl bindings of libwnck, because
there was no way to find out if we compile against 2.6.2 or 2.6.2.1 just
by using preprocessor directives.  We ended up using pkg-config and a
custom #define.

I'm not complaining, though.  I just wanted to point out that the 2.6
change did cause problems.
