BUGS / FIXES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* BUG: pager dnd is broken when shelf below (in desktop canvas) and @ of rows
is > 1.
* BUG: ghost windows happen if windows close when on another desktop or if
windows are very short-lived
* BUG: k3b has minimization issues when burning cds (it tries to unminimize
its window and this doesn't work)
* BUG: openoffice 2 when displaying a presentation with xinerama (multiple
zones) weird things happen (the presentation doesnt display - it seemingly
attaches to the 2nd zone, not the first), crashes have been reported too.
* BUG: dnd icon from window that has no .eap defining its icon to ibar and the
ibar icon ends up blank (can't build .eap from ARGB pixels)
* BUG: modules need to destroy config dialogs on shutdown (otherwise - segv!)
* BUG: xdaliclock -transparent doesnt use shaped border (not handling shape
change later)
* BUG: if a user selects a border the border should not just change based on
properties. if user selects a border in border selector, then lock border
* BUG: if you iconify a window and while iconified the window unmaps
(rhythmbox does this a lot apparently) e doesnt realize and still thinks
it's iconified.
* BUG: in general fullscreen needs work, cleaning and testing. dont allow
desktop switches for the desk a fullscreened window is on, nor allow windows
to be raised above the fs win etc. ie the app must seem to be entirely fs for
that zone.
* BUG: if you have 2 zones and you fill up zone 2 (right) mostly and then run
a big xev (xev -g 1280x1024) that won't fit it gets placed offscreen to the
right of zone 2
* BUG: Hiding the label of e_widget_slider causes the slider line to disappear

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* language packs: need to have a tool to load/setup a language pack (which
means .mo compiled files from a .po, an optional font and a config file that
specifies the locale and font) and then install the font(s) either as a user
or superuser, and the .mo in the system or a user locales dir.
* finish off icccm support
* finish complete netwm support
* add a "taskbar" module
* add cpu load module
* add a way to access "all" apps app dir
* add setup/install wizard to seed eap files etc. etc.
* support color classes
* add clientinfo pane/popdown for borders
* gui config dialogs for all config
* make it possible to disable border buttons/actions (tell theme what is
disabled)
* shelf gui config is ugly and badly arranged
* ibar should support creating and deleting bar dirs
* need to port/rewrite ibox to gadcon

CLEANUPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* EAP cache files can be hit and miss and have problems. move things to be
explicit reloads.
* winlist should support place for window "screenshot" in list as well as
app icon
* winlist could divide windows up into blocks - sub-lists within a container
per desktop (with stick windows considered to live on the "current" desk
when winlist starts)
* make it easy for modules to hook into ipc and extend it for themselves
* module api needs to move label and icon to data file (.eap file?), not api
* allow object paranoia to be a runtime option too
