Nobody said there was a compile time conflict... the real question,
which numerous people have failed to answer over the last couple of
months, is: Does gtk-window-decorator built against libmetacity0 >=
2.15.21 work with libmetacity0 < 2.15.21? If not, the conflict just
needs to be reversed or changed into a versioned dependency.
