Hi everyone,
I have been trying to fix some of the issues I have discovered in
jwm-settings-manager from testing.  I still have one issue that I am
getting stumped on.  However, I have fixed adding shortcuts so that it
works more correctly now.  There is a bit to be done to make it
smarter... but so far it is working :)  Something broke once I figured
out the multiple panel stuff... so there are a few bugs hiding around.
I also switched things so it presents the user with the
/usr/share/applications directory rather than /usr/bin since the
programs most people want are desktop file programs.

Anyone who wants fine grained control can setup the icon, tooltip, and
executable line themselves, and simply search for whatever program they
want... though that will have to be tweaked a bit to make sure things
work reliably.

But, now the program chooses the icon from the desktop file and adds
it.  if it is one that does not have an extention, it simply chooses the
icon extension that is in the MOST directories in the IconPaths
specified.  This is similar to the bash script idea to make a smart icon
extension choice, though C++ is much different.

Eventually I'd like to make something nice and graphical to choose a
program, similar to LXDE.
But, for now, something that works reliably is better than hand editing
XML :P

I'll push an update soon, once I have things working and stable
