If you really want to know the answer, the logical thing is to ask at
wm-spec-list@gnome.org (to post to that list you need to subscribe at
wm-spec-list-request@gnome.org, or subscribe to the no-traffic list
post-only@gnome.org). If you want to summarize the situation and ask
the folks there, that'd be great.
(Though my money is on "misfeature needed for some odd reason"; I
think we should just apply the patch if it demonstrably works,
especially since it shouldn't have any harmful effects.)
