Given the fact that it's only 6 days till hard code freeze,  might we 
have the old API reinstated, and add

void        wnck_workspace_activate_with_time       (WnckWorkspace *space,
                                          	     guint32        timestamp);

void     wnck_window_activate_with_time  (WnckWindow *window,
                                         guint32     timestamp);


The old API could become wrappers around the new API, and supply the current time as timestamp.

(We have had a standing order for stable libwnck API since about 2002 IIRC; surely at least a 
subset of libwnck should be available to gnome-dev clients...)
