Thanks for the information. I hope LaunchTaskBar will be included by
default. Also, in the past you talked about the possibility of merging
launchbar and taskbar, as we can see in docks. It would be really
interesting, as it is, for me, the only feature that Lxpanel lacks to be
used as a dock.
Concerning Keyboard Layout Handler, which are the improvements that you
are talking about ?
