In the last week I wasn't able to work much on Deskbar-Applet and this
will continue till the end of this month, because the final exams are
coming closer. Nevertheless, I, with the generous help of Nickolay
Shmyrev, was able to solve a threading issue that almost made me go
insane. That means no more random Xlib errors. Because this bug has been
solved now I decided on releasing the first tarballs of the new
Deskbar-Applet. Be aware that your old modules won't work with the new
version. See my guide "Writing new-style modules for Deskbar-Applet"[1]
for more details.
Last but not least I encourage you to download, install and most
important test the new Deskbar-Applet and let me know what you think.

Download:
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/deskbar-applet/2.19/

If you don't want to install Deskbar just extract it, do configure and
make and copy the file deskbar/gsoc_deskbar.py one directory up and
start Deskbar with "python gsoc_python.py -w".

Changelog:
* Solved a threading issue (hopefully the last one)
* Matches with no icon get a default icon
* Fixed bug in recent handler where icon was missing
* Don't display results of slow modules if query has been cleared
* Don't close preferences dialog if escape is pressed while in AccelEntry
* Continued work on new-stuff-manager integration (not tested, yet)
* Show warning on startup if old modules have been found
