2.5.2
===
Thanks to David Santiago, Julien Olivier, Anders Carlsson, Rob Adams
for fixes in this release.
- improved wording/UI for some dialogs
- while clicking a window button, if you move the mouse outside
the button such that releasing the mouse button won't activate
the window button, visually indicate by "popping out" the button.
- fix some valgrind errors
- change "show desktop mode" to convert to "everything is minimized
mode" if you open a new window while showing desktop, rather
than previous behavior of simply leaving show desktop mode.
- fix a trivial memory leak
- change "move to workspace N" so it doesn't switch workspaces,
just moves the window.

by using async properties code in more places

bindings
- lots of improvements to window placement
- sync max number of workspaces with pager applet

strict mouse focus mode

2.4.13
===
- we were making all dialogs skip the taskbar, even non-transient
ones, though this was supposedly fixed a while ago. Now really
fixed.
- change back to Alt+click by default for the window drag feature.
- assign Alt+F12 to shade window
- fix not deleting enough workspaces when the number
was reduced via the pager config dialog (readams@hmc.edu)
- don't allow windows under the top panel ever, even if they
are tall windows (Arvind)
- fix up the window layout for directional workspace nav,
so you always stop at the edges and always end up
where you expect (hp, with tweaks from readams@hmc.edu)
- focus new windows in mouse focus mode (readams@hmc.edu)
- support xeyes, oclock, etc. by applying shape mask
to the window manager frame (yeah it resizes slow, deal)
- fix vertical/horizontal maximize
- handle crossing events resizing for more opaque resize goodness
(Soeren)
- add wacky _METACITY_UPDATE_COUNTER experimental extension
to do nice opaque resizing (does nothing without a GTK patch)
- fix a crash setting workspace names
- fix internationalized WM_NAME reading
