Apparently what is happening is that the switcher is now a pseudo- 
continuous switcher rather than a discrete-desktop switcher.  That is,  
formerly if you clicked anywhere within the rectangle representing a  
desktop it would center that desktop in your viewport, but now it  
aligns the relative point that you clicked within the rectangle to the  
upper left corner of the screen.

I call it "pseudo-continuous" because it will not show things on  
different desktops if you try to center between them.

What is strange is that this behavior didn't revert when I failed back  
to 0.24.2.  Perhaps I didn't clean something out thoroughly?  What  
might be causing it if not libwnck?
