[Ayatana-dev] Application Menu Status for 2 July

["Jorge O. Castro" <jorge@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The march of regular releases continues with yet another
indicator-appmenu and appmenu-gtk release, as seen in Maverick and the
Lucid PPA.

Overall:

 * We're now on by default for UNE in Maverick. (Thanks didrocks and seb128!)
 * Adding a new utility to make a mock application
   - After you use the dump tool you can now use mockjsonapp to create
a test app with the dump data.
   - This makes it much easier to debug (this how Ted fixed the gimp menus)
   - If an app is being problematic providing a menu dump is the
easiest way to provide Ted with the data he needs to fix the menu:

 * I've removed the big grid of moin death from the wiki page as it's
hard to keep up to date and we've got more detail in the bug reports
anyway.
 * Cody has a bunch of other fixes for appmenu-gtk on hand, Ted will
be reviewing them today so you might see some bugs closed that you
won't see released until next Thursday.
