FFS, this is getting off track fast.

My point is:
awhile ago, a regression has been made
it's been bisected to a particular commit
a minimal revert has been proposed
the revert has been later refined (here and on wine-devel) into a hypothesis of
the origin of the problem
based on the hypothesis an even smaller workaround has been offered (and sent
to wine-patches)

yet the party that caused the regression still complains, not offering a better
solution (and not offering any real help).

Well, 1.6 freeze muddled the situation a bit too, but that's a completely
different matter.

(the above was between two gtk+ *devs*, but some of the sentiment holds)

I'm not saying original solution (pre-regression) wasn't a hack, cause it sort
of was, just that the code was changed without taking into account why that
hack was necessary.

If Microsoft pointed everybody to C++ classes, Point must have a very strict
definition in terms of RectF and Width=Height=0 seems a natural one.
