gnome-panel refresh

[Marco Cabizza <mc newglobal it>]

Hello, I have just subscribed to this list.

I have coded something and it has become a patch which enables a
'Refresh Panel' function, "because I don't know what 'killall
gnome-panel' means", which can be used when new software is installed,
for example.

By now the code is really ugly (it's REALLY a g_spawn* who calls
killall), but if nobody's working at that I could try to implement
something that keeps the menu up-to-date each time a new entry is added
by installing new software.

Anyway, the patch is attached.

Marco
