The 2.4 stuff is stuff I considered really important, whether or not
we have implementations or not. That filled up 2.4 pretty well, so I
ended up putting some stuff on 2.6 that might be closer ... partly just
to make my list look better, but also because even stuff where there
is already implementation isn't free to get tested and into GTK+.
