Severity: minor

Description reads:

    Description: lightweight panel/taskbar for X11 window managers
     PyPanel is a lightweight panel/taskbar written in Python and C
     for X11 window managers. It can be easily customized to match any
     desktop theme or taste. PyPanel works with WindowMaker and EWMH
     compliant WMs (Kahakai, Openbox, PekWM, FVWM, etc).

Remove word "lightweigh" from texts. There is nothing ligh weight 
with the python based applications. The Description string is
misleading. It should be better be labelled "mid weight".

REASONING

    The memory usage of pypanel is 

      PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
    10284 jaalto    16   0  9864 6264 3116 T  0.0  1.9   0:01.64 pypanel

    This is nothing to be called "lightweight", because if compared to this:

      PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
    28445 foo       17   0 13468 6428 4828 S  0.0  2.0   0:01.21 fbpanel

    And to known small window managers:

      PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
      728 foo       15   0  6300 3564 2748 S  0.0  1.1   0:00.75 icewm

    pypanel takes 6M reserved alone, which is 2 x more that icewm which
    includes panel of its own.
