I don't consider x-d-t "normal" software that we release. The release 
tarballs are provided for convenience, nothing more.  If you're 
compiling Xfce stuff that you even need x-d-t (i.e., if you're running 
autogen.sh), then I expect you to use svn trunk of x-d-t.

At any rate, those changes were made post-4.6.1, so you wouldn't expect 
it to be in a release tarball.  If you compile svn trunk, then I'd 
expect you to be running trunk dev tools too.

But, as I implied, I would encourage you *not* to waste time patching 
x-d-t for stuff like this.  4.6.2 will have this included.  All current 
4.6.1 release tarballs compile (and autogen) correctly with x-d-t-4.6.0.
