I agree, lets just do the minimal versionCompare fix for 3.10.0, and
do the bigger cleanup later. So, thats the second approval for you.

I want to point out that we still have another unfixed ugly redraw
issue in the shell with
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708367


I'm still holding out in the hope that Owen and Jasper can track that
down today or tomorrow. So maybe the best cause would be to do a
3.10.0.1 shell release with the versionCompare fix, and then do a
3.10.0.2 if we get a fix for 708367.
