Should I add gtk-doc framework to the panel module?

Heh, indeed. But as far as I know, nothing major changed in the panel API, so 
the sample plugin should still work fine. Maybe one should come up with a 
better sample plugin, maybe combined with a small tutorial describing the 
different steps required to make it work.
