I'm hoping to take a bit of time and do some diffs between your tree, Alexandra's [1] and the latest LXPanel git repo. I'd like to see which lxpanelx fixes made it into the tree and which are still outstanding (lxpanelx development is a bit faster paced than LXPanel and I'd like to see what other improvements that project made since the last rebase). Alexandra, if you have a plain-text list of the patches you applied to your tree, I'd be very interested in seeing it - it will save me time when looking through the code. It would be nice to have someone with write-access to the repo do a 'sweep' of the patches on the tracker at regular intervals (once per month would be sufficient) and apply those that are a) straight-forward and/or b) thoroughly documented/tested. I realize everyone has time/life constraints, so not sure how feasible that is -- or maybe updated [public] git repositories are preferred over patches... > It now compiles fairly cleanly, and doesn't segfault.

Based on lxpanel/lxpanel2 discussions [2], I'd say lxpanel will be 'around' for a while. If you have time and feel like it, I think that merging netstat and netstatus would not be a bad idea. If lxpanel2 comes out before work is complete, lessons learned can be applied to the GTK3 version. That's my take on it, others might disagree. Whatever you decide, thanks for your work so far! All the best!
