talking about the libs, i think we should use the same file naming
conventions for the sources (eg: xfce-filechooser.c and
xfce_iconbutton.c), IIRC benny or moe suggested it (did it) a long time
ago but we need to make it again. Tomorrow i'll be in hollidays so i'll
take time to make it if i have the green light and the convention (- or
_).
