Changes in release 0.29 (2006-09-09):

- Convert all settings names to plain strings, not unicode (Dennis Tomas).
  Prevents an error when adding new settings.

- Remove exception catching around the main code. ROX-Lib does this
  automatically for us now (Thomas Leonard). Also warn if using an old version
  of Python.

- On exit dbus-daemon is killed after a short delay, for the benefit of D-Bus
  using panel applets (Stephen Watson).

- Updated Chinese Translations (Babyfai Cheung).

- Added Gamma and Screensaver settings (Guido Schimmels).

- Make keyboard repeat and delay settings work (Ken Hayber and Tony Houghton).

- Added note that you must restart for language settings to take effect. Note:
  doesn't update yet like the ROX-Filer one (Thomas Leonard; reported by
  Babyfai Cheung).

- Added missing defaults for CanChangeAccels and KeyThemeName (Thomas Leonard).

- Remove the note on switching AutoStart from Choices to XDG as the XDG should
  be working (Stephen Watson).

- Fix problem where the Auto Start items could be run twice (Stephen Watson).

- Missing sys module import in settings, caused error when a 'Missing setting'
  exception was raised (Stephen Watson).

- Fixed typo in an option name for setxkbmap (Christopher Arndt).

- Set a variable to indicate we are in the ROX desktop. Helps cross-desktop
  scripts to identify us. (Stephen Watson).

- Removed old code which started ZeroProgress when the old version of Zero
  Install was being used. The old version is no longer supported (Thomas
  Leonard).

- If the XML-RPC window disappears before we get a chance to read it, just
  print a warning and continue. No need to show a full stack-trace error box
  (Thomas Leonard).

- Fix scan of XDG directories (Stephen Watson)

- Use XDG directories in preference to Choices (Stephen Watson).

- Try to start the DBus session bus even if the dbus bindings are missing or
  too old (Stephen Watson).

- Changed version test for an OK dbus (Stephen Watson).
