How to panel plugin

[André Miranda]

Dani,
I tried to review your repository, but one big commit is not easy on my 
strained eyes.
I noticed some commented code and some files renamed/deleted/recreated 
without a clear reason, please don't push these things, they only confuse.
Currently it's not possible to build due an error on Makefile about an 
image, take a look at xfce4-dict where I made some changes related to 
the panel plugin icon. It came to my attention that you replaced the 
icon by one that seems to be from onlinewebfonts.com and according to 
what's present in the SVG it's under this license: 
https://creativecommons.org/ns
I recommend not to change the current icon unless you have a good reason 
to, otherwise an attribution will be necessary.

Regarding the documentation, unfortunately it's far from updated, the 
page you mentioned hasn't been touch since 2010 (I touch it recently, 
but only to add information, I didn't update it). As Matthew hinted, the 
better documentation we have is the source code itself.

Cheers,
Andre Miranda
