Given that this has some regression potential I think it needs to live
in -proposed for a bit to get adequately tested.

Regarding the current maverick-proposed version, the only known
regression seems to be fairly modest (behavioral change in how
maximization works), and the issue that it fixes (x server crashes)
seems to be pretty severe, and is getting confirmed by a number of
people.  The behavior regression has only been reported by one person,
who isn't running stock packages (although he says it happens there too,
but solid evidence is missing).

I'd be tempted to allow the current proposal through.  The benefit seems
to far outweigh the risk in this case.  However, if you're not
comfortable with that, then yeah reject it out of proposed and put this
one in instead.  We can then sharpen our pencils on seeing if the
alleged regression can be independently confirmed.
