Thanks to Rob Adams, Anders Carlsson, Elijah Newren, Soeren Sandmann,
Emil Soleyman-Zomalan, Michael Terry, and Jeff Waugh for fixes in this
release.

  - set titlebar_uses_system_font = false (it was ugly)
  - make naming for "move a window"/"move the window"/"move window"
    more consistent (fixes #142235)
  - Add trailing quotes to keybinding explanation text.
  - support for EWMH update counter spec & add compensation events
    when events are ignored. (fixes #143333 and #109362)
  - Fix focus bugs: remove race condition on window close/minimize
    (#131582), make focus choice consistent for each focus mode
    (#135810), choose correct focus window when "un-showing the
    desktop (#144900), make sure correct window is focused when using
    the workspace switcher (#120100).
  - Use meta_topic instead of meta_warning when failing to connect to
    a session manager; reduces metacity verbosity. (fixes #136218)
  - Make meta_window_delete take a timestamp, and be sure to pass it
    one.
  - Add support for EWMH _NET_WM_USER_TIME spec.  This enables part of
    preventing focus stealing.  (bug #118372) Also fix bug with
    windows not being focused on unminimizing caused by original
    patch.  (also bug #118372)
  - Fix some support for EWMH hints, and fix USER_TIME support to
    include the DEMANDS_ATTENTION hint.  Also includes some code for
    implementing _NET_RESTACK_WINDOW and _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW, but
    this is disabled pending feature thaw.
