BUGS / FIXES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* BUG: e_entry/editable widget is pretty borken in sizing, clipping, initial
state and i think is also now causing segv's (not sure yet), but it needs
a complete going over if not a rewrite. :(
* BUG: "match this window only" doesnt fall back to other unused remembers
* BUG: if app asks for borderless in properties - borderless toggle in menu
doesn't have any effect.
* BUG: change exe name in basic mode in eap editor and icon vanishes (don't
extract existing icon and write out to tmp .png while rebuilding).
* BUG: ghost windows happen if windows close when on another desktop or if
windows are very short-lived
* BUG: xdaliclock -transparent doesnt use shaped border (not handling shape
change later)
* 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: Hiding the label of e_widget_slider causes the slider line to disappear

ESSENTIAL FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* fsel needs "add" button for favorites to add whataver directory is selected
if any dir is selected (create symlink)
* fsel needs to clear the entry when entering a new dir
* fm2 .desktop parser needs to handle i18n
* fm2 needs a mime filter
* fm2 needs to have a mime & filetype -> icon mapping
* fsel needs to display the current dir (for better context) somewhere
* eap editor is broken - segv in advanced mode
* use .desktop files and move eap editor to edit them etc. etc. instead to fix
* if we want to do icons on the desktop - and as part of efm, i am thinking
that we have little choice but to implement a .desktop file loader. this
is not to hard - it's the xml jungle of the system menus that is sucky. the
real problems are where to find the icons for the .desktop files.
* middle mouse on gadgets as a quick move/resize thing?
* 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 (and dnd from it into ibar etc.)
* add setup/install wizard to seed eap files etc. etc.
* support color classes (gui config etc. etc.)
* finish clientinfo dialog for borders (netwm props etc. etc.)
* gui config dialogs for all config
* make it possible to disable border buttons/actions (tell theme what is
disabled)
* Window Border Icon > "Create Icon" needs to copy the ARGB icon data (into a
temp file?) and use that as the default icon.
* Dragging a non-eap icon from a border to the ibar should automatically
create the icon and add that (instead of warning the user that this can't be
done)
* new fm code re-lays-out a dir every time the queue is processed - maybe try
to speed this up
* new fm code's file scanning isn't insanely fast - icon size calcs etc. speed
up for special cases like list view?

CLEANUPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* bg needs a gradient dialog that can take a set of pre-drawn png's and edc
recipies and use colored rects and overlayed png's recolored with color
options to create vertical, horizontal, radial etc. gradients quickly and
save to an edc
* fsel could do with an optional preview pane for selected file (bigger icon,
file info (permissions, modification date etc.)
* clientinfo dialog could be nicer - then again it is an obsucre thing.
* desklock's pam profile should be configurable as system-auth doesn't
always work and the fallback checks might not work either.
* If a user has set a border type on a window, don't bother to check for
changes.
* keybindings dialog doesn't conform its formatting or datatype naming to
anything else in e17 - it needs fixing.
* need to do a massive theme spec overhaul. need to namespace signals, special
named parts that are needed, specific what is NEEDED froma theme, what is
optional (in terms of parts, groups and signals). etc.
* default config for shelf is screwy and needs fixing - related to gadcon
layout algorithm though.
* ipc is a mess. overgrown. hard to work with. what to do? remove?
* 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

"NICE TO HAVE" FEATURES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* full fm2 support as an icon fm needs work - beyond fsel needs and for icons
on the desktop etc. etc.
* winlist and exebuf can let the mouse select items
* switch to desktop of a new window if it opens on another desktop than the
current one (optional too)
* emit signal to submenu entries if they have a submenu shown for them or not
* setup configs for gnome and kde (as options) if they are installed (eg
run gnome-settings-daemon).
* check evas engine can work on a given screen before using it
* non opaque move/resize
* add "osd" subsystem for things like volume controls on keybboards, etc.
that overlay the screen
* file icons on the desktop (people ask for it) - xdnd for these
* improve drag/resize of gadget items
