Ok, phew :)  No big deal then.

I think 0.6 got branched at a good time.  The XCB requirement is
something I'd like to avoid for this release.  The options rewrite
looks like a big improvement, but it breaks compiz-fusion
compatibility, so I think it makes sense to not include that in 0.6
either.

Since I have some interest in seeing the 0.6 release go out, I can
volunteer to drive that unless somebody else wants to.  I have a few
patches over here that I think are suitable for the 0.6 branch

Aside from those changes, my plan for 0.6 is to just collect what
fixes come in from fedora and other distros and then release 0.6
mid-september.  How does that sound?
