Package: libwnck4
Version: 2.8.0.1-1
Severity: important
Tags: experimental

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98698 seems to have been
committed in a point release, breaking systems that have one panel
setup to list all of the tasks.

There are two issues:

1) Subtle post-2.8 breakage with no warning.  (Purely an upstream
issue)

2) Users are then forced to have two panels in order to view all of
their tasks, which is confusing and wastes desktop space.  (It also
means that in the default setup of top panel / bottom panel, people on
a Xinerama system won't see their applications listed if they drag
them to another monitor)
