ANNOUNCE: GSwitchIt 0.93

[Sergey V.Udaltsov <svu users sourceforge net>]

The last milestone release of the GSwitchIt toolkit for GNOME 1

GSwitchIt is going to say "farewell" to GNOME 1. So all the best
features of
XKB handling/configuration/management are here today. There can be some
future
bugfix releases in 0.9x series (though I cannot really promise) but most
of
the new development will be done in GNOME 2. So the next version will most

probably be GSwitchIt 2.0 for GNOME 2.

The current version adds more correct handling of the global XKB
configuration
(if user wants to use things written in XF86Config) - in read-only mode.
Some 
UI polishing according to GNOME Human Interface Guidelines 1.0 was
performed. 
Tooltips show some useful info in many cases now. The UI terminology of
"groups" and "layouts" is more strict and correspond to
X Window stardards now
(though may be a bit confusing for some users:).

The important change in general XKB configuration handling: now user does
not 
have to add the applet into the GNOME panel to get all the settings from
XKB 
capplet installed at the session startup. Instead, the XKB configuration 
capplet adds itself to the GNOME session startup sequence and loads the XKB

configuration itself.

Thanks to GNOME Translation Project, Norwegian translation is added.

Some fixes for the latest gcc/autoconf/automake were done too.

Known issues:
1. As usual, in all GNOME 1 releases, the applet configuration is activated

   after the applet restart only.
2. The applet configuration menu item sometimes hangs the applet. It is
known
   problem (Xlib is a major suspect here). So it is recommended to
configure 
   the applet from gnomecc or directly launching 
   gswitchit-properties-capplet.
