Hey all,

I've been wanting a stock ticker plugin for the panel for a while, so I wrote
one. :) It still needs a bit of tweaking, but what software doesn't? ;)

Here's a screencap:

You can get the source from:
http://kdubois.net/stock_ticker.tar.gz

It needs libcurl (for downloading the data from Yahoo! Finance), and
libclutter-gtk (0.8) for the animation.

I still need to idiot-proof the parser for entering symbols, allow resizing the
width and changing the direction of the ticker, but other than that, it works ok.
