Good to know! I just re-organized my tree a little. There are now two branches: 'gtk2-fixes' and 'gtk2-features'. Please (list members) consider merging them, depending on how strict the "feature freeze" is. :) > I'd like to see which lxpanelx fixes made it into the tree and which > are still outstanding (lxpanelx development is a bit faster paced than > LXPanel and I'd like to see what other improvements that project made > since the last rebase).

Sourceforge is a bit cumbersome in my opinion. Is the "Bugs"/"Feature Requests"/"Patches" distinction useful?
