Hi folks,

after the confusion on the last few days now i am happy to announce a
new version of the openmoko-panel-plugin. the panel-plugin is a little
peace of software to show and modify you the state of the hardware in
you freerunner(i.e. gsm, gps ...). it should work with any gtk based
windowmanager (i.e. xfce). 

you should now simply get the new version(0.5) through the debian
repository(apt-get install openmoko-panel-plugin) or via
http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openmoko-panel-plugin/
