Could someone commit the changes proposed at
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/694625 and release a 3.7.1 or something? I
don't think it matters too much whether it's named GNOME Flashback or
Flashback or even something else. It's understood that there are still
remaining issues but this way we have a tarball that at least builds
and distros already on GNOME 3.8 have something that sort of works.
(Ubuntu has a bit of an advantage there as the customized gnome-panel
offered can use Compiz and Unity's indicators without being hurt too
badly by the removals in gnome-settings-daemon and elsewhere).

Thanks,
