GNOME 3590 Published by

gnome-panel 2.9.3 has been released



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 "Il ne devrait jamais y avoir trop de changements" release: lots of small (and not so small) bugs related to panel background changes, panel position changes, panel size changes, hidden/autohidden panel were fixed. When you change the panel configuration, it should always behave as expected.

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.
