gnome-panel 2.9.4 ("Toujours plus utiles, plus forts, plus beaux")

[Vincent Untz <vincent vuntz net>]

GNOME panel is, well, the panel in GNOME. You know, the bar you see
at the top and at the bottom of your desktop, with menus and lots
of applets on it. That's it. That's the panel.

This is the "Toujours plus utiles, plus forts, plus beaux" release:
the menu bar now uses a new layout. The menus should now make every
user happy. Also, developers of applets that need to get focus should
look at the new panel_applet_request_focus() API.

Since gnome-panel 2.9.2, the gnome-panel use the /apps/panel gconf
directory to store its settings. The settings that were previously
stored in /apps/panel/profiles will be automatically migrated.
Since gnome-panel 2.9.2 also, the panel depends on gnome-menus
and we should finally enjoy the freekdestop.org Desktop Menu
Specification. If you don't see any items in the menus, then you
probably forgot to set $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to $(sysconfdir)/xdg

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.
