cvs: xfce4-panel compile error

[Brian J. Tarricone]

heh, you actually left off the important part of the output which is:

controls.c:577: error: syntax error before "control_items"
controls.c:577: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of 
`control_items'

the problem is that, with gtk 2.4, GtkItemFactory is considered 
deprecated, in favor of the new GtkAction menu stuff.  
--enable-debug=yes causes GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to be defined, and so 
you get an error if you try to use any deprecated gtk stuff.  the 
annoying thing is that porting the code will require #ifdefs for gtk 2.4 
and gtk < 2.4, since we want to allow gtk 2.2 and 2.0 users to still use 
xfce4.  personally i don't think it's worth it to do the work, though on 
the other hand --enable-debug can be quite useful.  anyway, as a 
workaround, open up panel/Makefile, find references to 
"-DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED", and remove them.
