[gpm] Release of 0.3.4



OK, I've got some explaining to do.

The last proper release was 0.3.1, and ages ago. Lots of work has been
done on the codebase, thanks to so many of you guys. There's so much new
stuff, new translations, new bugfixes, and new features it's hard to
explain how much work has been done in the last few weeks.

Expect there to be a few new bugs also in this release (as some slip
through the net), so also expect 0.3.5 to be released hot on the heels
of this one! :-)

0.3.4 [1] does depend on HAL 0.5.6, which was released last night. I
felt no point in releasing a version of g-p-m that could only be built
with a CVS snapshot of HAL, hence the long wait.

So apologies for those waiting for a release for a bugfix, but it should
all be okay now. Release frequency should be back to normal now.

Comments (and bugs) always welcome.

Thanks, Richard.

NEWS:

- We now depend on HAL 0.5.6 for the new suspend, hibernate and shutdown
functionality. HAL 0.5.6 is available in my repo for FC4.
- Source releases are now done on the GNOME ftp servers:
ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnome-power-manager/
- We now only show Suspend and Hibernate options when HAL says we
should. NOTE: just because HAL (i.e. the kernel) says it has hibernation
or suspend support is compiled in, doesn't automatically mean that it
will *work*.
- DPMS has moved into gnome-power-manager from gnome-screensaver, thanks
to the work from William Jon McCann. There now is a DBUS interface to
control this new functionality (#326276)
- org.gnome.GnomePowerManager -> org.gnome.PowerManager (#326492)
- GNOME Power Manager now listens for the new idle signals from g-s.
- There now is a yelp help file (#324977), thanks to Jaap Haitsma.
- Lots of new translations: Greek (Nikos Charonitakis), Gujarati (Ankit
Patel), Vietnamese (Clytie Siddall), Catalan (Josep Puigdemont i
Casamajó), Thai (Theppitak Karoonboonyanan), Serbian (Slobodan D.
Sredojevic).
- Lots of updated translations: Galician (Ignacio Casal Quinteiro),
Hungarian (Gabor Kelemen), Bulgarian (Alexander Shopov), Norwegian
(Kjartan Maraas), Spanish (Francisco Javier F. Serrador), Simplified
Chinese (Funda Wang), Lithuanian (Žygimantas Beručka), Italian (Daniele
Medri), French (Guillaume Savary), Finnish (Ilkka Tuohela).
- We now try to save the GNOME application state before the
critically-low action is taken (default shutdown).
- The power button is now an interactive shutdown, saving GNOME session
state.

schema.

(RH#174196), (#322547), (RH#172963), (RH#176656).
- Lots of source file re-organisation, also a large refactoring. Thanks
to William Jon McCann for the large amount of code cleanup done.
- Fix problem where preferences window is redrawn and then resized
(#323562)
- Don't crash if gnome-panel is restarted, but display the icon again
(#324446)
