This is obviously up to Stefan and Chong. I can't honestly say the bug
has become more annoying recently. It's been annoying for a long time,
and I was very glad that you fixed it.
In my experience, the bug only shows up if I start emacs without a D-Bus
daemon running. I suspect most GNU/Linux users always have a daemon
running when they start emacs under X, so they aren't aware of the bug.
The reason for my request that you backport the fix is that I've been
thinking ahead to the release of emacs-24.3 for the Cygwin distribution.
Cygwin users are probably not accustomed to starting a D-Bus daemon,
so I will need to do something.
If Stefan and Chong decide that the fix should not be backported, I'll
probably just apply the fix locally to my Cygwin build.
Ken
