Re: [Perlpanel-devel] new dock applet and desktop entry module

[Luka Frelih]

after fixing two really embarassing bugs and some more cleanup,
i'm sending attached version 0.1.1 of Dock.pm. Anyone trying to
test it, please use this one, along with the Entry.pm from the
first post. i'm sorry about it, but the original version was really 
seriously broken.

it will now make its dir for desktop files correctly (oops), so the
keep function has a chance of working. even more importantly, it will 
not try to start two copies of each program - whew!
