[Goodies-dev] Panel hidden and property dialogs

[Mike Massonnet]

Hi,

I figured several panel plugins are lacking support for auto hidden
panels.  When you open their property dialog, the panel isn't kept
shown, and that's annoying because you can't see the changes made
directly on the panel plugin widget.  Instead you have to unhide the
panel by going to it with the mouse, but then you leave it again to
klik-ti-klik around the property dialog.

I highly recommend to use the xfce_panel_plugin_set_panel_hidden[1]
function when entering and quitting the property dialog.

>From what I use, the next panel plugins have the problem:
- windowlist
- taskbar
- pager
- clock

But I'm sure the list is longer.

How should this be done?  Open a bug + patch for each plugin?  Make a
"quality assurance" commit over all the plugins?
