gnome-panel drawer problem

[Gene C.]

For those of you aggravated by the problem where the drawer does not work 
(works initially but then stops ... especially after re-login), I have 
created a patch.  The problem results in the launcher buttons in the drawer 
not working.  Given the current state of FC 1, fixing this problem has a zero 
chance before general availability.

This refers to problems:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104492
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121072

The problem has been fixed upstream (around 16 Sep) and the patch is attached 
to 104492.  This patch was created by a diff comparing button-widget.c in the 
gnome-panel-2.4.0-3 tarball against that available from the cvs as of today.

The patch picks up three additional fixes in the cvs which are pretty much 
restricted to button-widget.c or just make some simple changes to text.

I have built some rpms based on this patch and test it -- it appears to fix 
the problem.  As with other such limited testing of code, your milage may 
vary.

Build your own update from the patch in bugzilla or the prebuilt rpms are 
available via anonymous ftp at ftp://czarc.net/pub/ and are named:

gnome-panel-2.4.0-3.gc2.i386.rpm
gnome-panel-2.4.0-3.gc2.src.rpm

These packages will not be there forever but should be around for at least a 
couple of weeks.
