EggMenu

The menu merge code is mostly working now. With some
help from Anders, almost all the menu merge functionality is
working. You can merge and demerge UI files, bind a
particular menu item to a different action, and use
placeholders.

Toolbars are still left to go. I need to work out how to
do the placeholders on toolbars, as the placeholder
implementation for menus makes use of (possibly hidden)
separator menu items before and after the elements within
the placeholder. The separators in GtkToolbar are not
widgets, so I will need to work out some other way to handle it.

Preparation for the conference is going well. We are
still waiting for more submissions for the Call for Papers.
If you want to do a talk, please send in a submission!

Went to see AOTC today. It was a lot better than Episode
1. It was pretty cool recognising some of the buildings I
had been to in Seville in some of the scenes.

It was a bit weird that all the clones were kiwis though.

Switched over to GNOME 2.0 on my laptop. It is
definitely at the stage where I can use it for every day
work. There are a few annoyances, but it is shaping up
quite nicely. Libglade is shaping up very nicely, and will
probably be go stable soon. PyGTK might take a little longer.

I recently found out that bugzilla.gnome.org has
support for new email tech, but it was turned off by
default. I turned it on, and the bug mail looks a lot nicer
(like my mail from all the other bugzillas, rather than diff
-u output).
