	* Released 0.3.4

2006-06-19    <jo...@us...>

	* Started test branch for XFCE 4.4 native desktop icons support.
	* Modified .desktop file for XFCE 4.4 support.
	* Moved icon to /usr/share/pixmaps.
	* Removed unmounted icon support.
	* Added separate unmount icon for each device till actions work in XFCE.


XFCE desktop icons now work. The auto-refresh problem was solved
thanks to an email exchange with the XFCE devs. To test this you will
need Vec's XFCE 4.4 beta build plus the gamin package and the rebuilt
Thunar with gamin support.

Still can't get the context-menu actions to work in XFCE though. So I
added a second icon for each device, just to be able to unmount them.
Hopefully this will not be a permanent solution as it is inelegant and
missing the "emergency" unmount actions. I started a separate branch
for testing an alternative interface, where the icon shows up but the
device is not mounted until clicked on, when it also opens it in a
filemanager. I don't like this method as much and there are several
problems to iron out with it, but if it progresses, I might release a
viable testing version in the not too distant future for comparison.

We now have the makings of our very own vl-hot icon, courtesy of Aska.
He vows to keep working on it, as he considers this just an early
alpha attempt.
