Is it in CVS as well? I'd rather pull it from there.

It's also much easier to make separate programs now, since the communication
is done through wm hints and xsettings instead of through pipes.

At the moment I'm reordering and restructuring the panel code a bit and
adding some comments to allow others (and myself) to more easily read the
code. I have a configuration system in mind for the global panel settings
(size, style, number of desktops, etc) using xsettings and wmhints, with a
separate app changing these values. I hope to have some sample code ready
soon.
