Hey Jeff,
Here's a list of some of the things I expect to get done in the panel
for 2.4:
* New toplevel panel widget:
+ No more panel types, just a single panel which you can
configure to the same effect as the old panel types.
+ Resize the panel to any width by dragging on the edge.
+ Groovy autohide into the corner for edge panels.
+ Move, resize, hide the panel using the keyboard.
+ No shadow at the screen edge to help Fitt's Law
compliance.
+ Descriptive panel titles/names to aid navigation between
panels
* Cleanup of the panel's gconf mess. Easier to change the
default panel setup, sensible panel/applet ids, descriptions
for all keys etc.
* The panel will respond to gconf notifications.
* Will either expose the idea of panel "profiles" in the UI
or possibly dump it altogether.
* Applications/Actions menu bar and window menu from the old
menu panel will be standalone applets.
* Calendar on the clock applet.
There's probably other stuff, but these are the things I'm looking at
getting done in fairly short order, depending on whether I have the time
or not of course :-)
Good Luck,
Mark.
