My last two reports contained no news, but since university is over I
spend a lot of time on Deskbar-Applet. Most notable I added actions. We
now have modules, matches and actions. Modules produce matches and
matches have actions. This way a match can have more actions, e.g. open
url in browser and copy url to clipboard. If a match has more than one
action you will see a list of actions after you selected the match. If
it doesn't Deskbar-Applet will behave like it did without actions. You
can see how it works in this movie[1]. Currently, the matches don't
include revolutionary actions. That's your opportunity to come up with
those revolutionary actions and tell me about it. Furthermore, I'm going
to update my guide on how to write modules for Deskbar-Applet soon.

In addition, I updated the preferences dialog to reflect the latest
changes on the GConf schema. Because everyone likes movies I made
another one[2].

Finally, Raphael encouraged me to make a late 2.19.6 release. So
download it, test it, report bugs and fix them.

More changes:
* Fixed bug #461627: Change the amount of items in history
* Always show count in category header
* Fixed evolution address book search with evo-ldap (patch by Karl Relton)
* Removed obsolete definitions from GConf and preferences and added new
controls to preferences for previously unsupported options
* Set process name to deskbar-applet
* Cell containing the icon of a match doesn't expand anymore
* Print tracebacks if module failed to load
* Renamed gsoc_deskbar.py to deskbar-applet.py
* Made sure that all icons are included in gnome-icon-theme
