Depends on the severity of the bug and the work involved in fixing it...
I'd not wish to postpone the release over unexpected fallout from a
"trivial" bug-fix, especially if the bug is not frequently a problem
or was present in 2.0.1.

The extra reshape events (caused even on window repositioning) were around
for some time (I think since before I came on board, though I very slightly
contributed to that by making windows generate a refresh event during
CreateNotify).  And, I just noticed, I introduced a ripple when I fixed this,
since I had not realized how the window->State.{Height,Width} variables were
used.  I thought that they were descriptive, rather than proscriptive, and
used them incorrectly to block "extra" window resize events.
