Can you put the 2.2.1 one in bugzilla? Feature additions aren't
allowed in 0.18, so the 2.2.1 one is the important one.

The patches look pretty close to right, thanks for doing this work.

Here are some quick nitpicks:

 - be sure to put a space before parens "foo (" not "foo("

 - should not name things wnck_viewport_get_x() but rather 
   wnck_workspace_get_viewport_x() or something like that, 
   if they are methods on the workspace

 - I wouldn't make wnck_screen_get_xyhint a public function, 
   I'd keep it in xprops.h with an underscore prepended
  
 - the values in the properties need to be sanity-checked, 
   in case someone decides it would be funny to specify 
   a -50x-150 viewport or something
 
 - the viewport properties should be read in an idle handler 
   when a PropertyNotify for them is received, like the other 
   stuff in screen.c

Thanks a lot, I was wondering when someone would write a patch for
this instead of just griping about it. ;-)
