Looks a lot like what I did for the panel, but there are a few 
differences, and I have no idea if they are important, because, 
naturally, I just copied the code from some example ;-)


 From mcs-manager to panel:

- Check return value for write.
- Don't check condition in io watch callback.
- g_..._read_chars instead of g_..._read, with use of a union to get 
chars to int value. Looks overly complicated to me, actually... Ah, a 
comment says there is no ..._read, so this must be old.
- read pipe in a while loop, check at the end if status matches 
G_IO_STATUS AGAIN.
- Quit if pipe can't be created.
- Set reading and writing end of the pipe specifically to non-blocking mode.
- Use G_IO_IN | G_IO_PRI instead of just G_IO_IN.
- Don't unref channel.

Like I said, I have no idea if these changes are in any way important, 
or which version is 'better', if any. Just thought I'd mention it.
