Description
-----------
A port of awesome-freedesktop_ to Awesome_ 4.x.
See branches_ for previous versions.
Since the introduction of Menubar_ as a core library to provide Freedesktop.org
functionalities in Awesome, we can now avoid the dirty work by simply exploiting
``menubar.utils``.
At the moment, the menu is complete, while the desktop icons are rather simple. Our goal
is to add the following features:
- A better way to handle desktop icons path.
- Ability to drag and line up icons.
- Event-based signals, in particular:
- Updating trash icon according to its status.
- Dynamic update (no need to restart Awesome to see changes on the desktop).
