Comment:

 I've never commented on the Wordpress Trac before, so forgive me if I'm
 doing this wrong. But I don't think this issue should be closed. Disabling
 stickies won't produce the intuitively desired result. From the original
 example:

   have 3 posts in order: Post 1, Post 2, Post 3 (<-- make sticky)

   my_WPQuery = new WP_Query("showposts=2");

   This will return 3 posts (Post 3, Post 1, Post 2).

 But intuitively it should return 2 posts (Post 3, Post 1). I've tried
 using the new "posts_per_page" and it seems to produce the same result.
