Title:
  FFe: Cairo-Dock and its plugins need to be updated to the stable
  version (mainly 'bug-fix')

Status in “cairo-dock” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hello,

  The stable version of Cairo-Dock (and its plugins) is now available and should be uploaded to Quantal repositories.
  Even if there are a lot of changes (this is why I'm introducing a FFe), this is a 'bug-fix' version.

  Changes are big mainly because the translations have been updated and a lot of GCC warnings (from -Wall and -Wextra) have been fixed.
  We also need a 'ACK' for the plugins: due to the recent rewrite of indicator-messages, 'Messaging-Menu' has been rewritten too to directly load the .so file. Now it's just easy to add a new indicator applet and this is why 'Printers-Menu' (indicator-printers) and 'Sync-Menu' (indicator-sync) applets have been added just by modifying the name of the .so file.
  So this change in 'Messaging-Menu' was needed (and mostly based on the work of Ted Gould with its 'applet-main.c' from 'indicator-applet' project). We added two new applets just because it was really easy to add these applets: just by modified this line: cd_indicator3_load () (which indicator_object_new_from_file () like other 'indicator-applet').

  This is the detailed ChangeLog since the last version:
     - Only disable drag'n'drop onto the dock when the dock is completely
        locked, not when the icons position is locked.
     - Prevented quicklists for an icon
        (e.g. used by musicPlayer applet to remove double menu entries)
     - Menu: renamed this title: 'Below *other* windows'
       + fixed a typo (bIsMaximized was checked a bit too late)
     - Man: 'A' ('ask-backend') option was missing and 'i' (indirect) is
        no longer supported + for 'colors', used 'F' instead of 'A' which
        is already used by 'ask-backend'
     - When a label is updated, update the drawing accordingly
     - Dialogs: fixed a crash if the dialog was forced above (GTK3)
     - Advanced GUI: fixed a bug that prevented to edit a 2nd instance of
        an applet
        + renamed 'cairo-dock-gui-main.[ch]' to 'cairo-dock-gui-advanced.[ch]'
     - Don't close the dock if no plug-ins are found, just display the message
     - Menu on appli: put the window actions into a single menu-item, which
        avoid having a crowded menu or another sub-menu
     - Default view: use all the screen space to avoid the jitter of the dock
        when it is resized (although this is mainly a problem in the Window
        Managers, unfortunately very few handle the resizing correctly)
     - Locked dock: prevent any modification when the dock is locked
     - Advanced GUI: fixed a small bug when reloading an applet
     - Application manager: handle the case where there is no dock
        (e.g. for cairo-desklet)
     - when starting in maintenance mode, force the use of the advanced
        configuration (easier to fix problem)
     - Compilation: fixed a lot of warnings during the compilation
        (mostly 'unused-variable' and 'unused-parameters' by using
         G_GNUC_UNUSED) when using -Wall and -Wextra
     - GTK3.4: used GtkGrid instead of GtkTable (now deprecated)
     - Labels in vertical dock:
      + fixed the calculation with a helper
      + terminate with a gradation if the label is too large to be fully drawn
      + fixed a small offset in the position of the X icon geometry
     - Indicators: icons was not visible with the Cairo backend if we wanted to
        have an image as indicator of the active window and if we don't give
        any image
     - Fixed a bug in cairo_dock_create_surface_from_pattern
        (when using a pattern as the background image)
     - Themes: Added write rights in the new theme folder
        (if the user has just changed its current theme)
     - OpenGL backend: fixed a small bug in the drawing of always visible icons
     - Fixed a crash when re-inserting an applet into a dock
     - GUI: fixed 2 bugs in the module widget
     - Taskbar: when placing appli icons after launchers, don't count
        separators as launchers
     - When loading an image based on a pattern, constrain the image height,
        so that it only repeats on its width
     - Taskbar: added back the use of _NET_WM_STATE_DEMANDS_ATTENTION
        (this might be used by Skype and therefore solve the bug LP: #1013635)
     - Menu: Window Actions: drawn: Min - Max - Close instead of
        Max - Min - Close + drawn Min and Max only if the window is not hidden
     - Code cleaning: removed a few useless g_print (or used cd_debug instead)
     - Menu: Custom icon: only display images on the file chooser
     - Menu: Custom Icon: do not display the menu entry if bLockAll is defined
        (if the action is useless) + do not stop the action if bLockIcons
     - Widget Items: the main GtkWindow is needed to build other widgets
     - po: imported translations from Launchpad and Added Lithuanian language
     - Options: AskBackend: show the backend even if we force the use of the
        OpenGL backend
     - Help: Help menu entry: this menu entry no longer worked: used
        cairo_dock_show_items_gui like the Edit menu entry
     - Menu: Help menu entry: if we use the simple mode, switch to the advanced
        mode because the help settings are only available there
     - Some cleaning

  And for the plug-ins:
     - All:
      + Graph: iRadius parameter is no longer needed
      + Notifications: removed unused registrations to a few signals
        (on click, on middle click, on build menu, etc.)
      + Code cleaning: removed a few useless g_print (or used cd_debug instead)
      + Code cleaning: fixed a lot of GCC's warnings when using -Wall
      + po: updated the translations
      + po: Added Lithuanian and Hebrew languages
     - Cairo-Penguin: its menu wasn't displayed when clicking on the character
     - Dock-Rendering:
      + Slide view: fixed the arrow color when the sub-dock is on a side of
        the screen
      + Slide view: renamed the files + fixed the position of the sub-dock when
        the parent dock's alignment is not centered
     - Doncky: fixed a lot (and a lot) memory leaks and warnings during the
        compilation
     - GMenu: for those having a big lag when opening the menu for the first
       time: it's now possible to load all icons at startup (hidden option)
     - GVFS:
      + No longer added the home directory when listing vfs-root
      + Fixed a few memory leaks
      + Renamed '/' by 'File System' (name used by other DE)
      + Removed an useless strcmp
     - Indicators:
      + Added support of the new Indicator (3-0.4)
        (needed for the new version of indicator-messaging)
      + Added Printers-Menu and Sync-Menu (they just load the right .so file)
     - Mail:
      + Fixed a few memory leaks and removed useless variables' initialisations
      + Set '/' as a default path if none is defined in conf
     - Messaging-Menu:
      + This applet was broken on Ubuntu Quantal due to the recent changes in
        the messagin-menu deamon. Now we use Indicator-applet3 to manage the
        applet. The code is now shorter, it should be safer and it's no longer
        needed to sync the code between indicator-messages and this
        Messaging-Menu applet
      + Removed the link to ido (it's not needed)
     - musicPlayer:
      + Prevent displaying quicklist, since the applet already provides all the
        common actions for any player
      + mpris2: some players doesn't support (well) the 'trackid'
        (e.g. Audacious or Pithos)
      + cover: used a loop instead of checking all names one by one
     - Powermanager:
      + UPower: displayed the details of all batteries
        (and not only the first one)
        + Connected to 'device-added' and 'device-removed' signals if the user
          adds or removes a battery (and avoid wrong informations)
     - Recent-Events:
      + Dialog: no longer added removed files
      + Dialog: Applications: Used the translated name
      + Recent files: added deleted files to the hashtable to prevent useless
        g_file_test
     - Shortcuts:
      + Bookmarks: moved Home to the bookmarks list (like most files managers)
      + Added the disk space progress bar on the Home folder, since /home is
        not listed by gvfs except if /home is on another partition
     - showDesktop:
      + Checked the XRandr version with the core function to avoid crash
        if XRandr 1.2 is not available
     - Stack:
      + Used 'g_uri_unescape_string' instead of 'g_filename_from_uri' to
        support all uri an not only 'file://'
     - Status-Notifier: if the item doesn't have info for the title, the ID is
       shown but this string is cut (12 chars)
     - Switcher: changed the 'render' notification order to draw the desklet
       after the desklet manager

  
  The new version is ready to be uploaded on Ubuntu repos ;)
  Thank you for your help!

  PS: sorry to propose this stable version now but it's not easy to fix
  all new bugs introduced just before the FF :) (most of the work after
  the FF have been done by only 2 devs which are not full-time paid for
  that ;) )
