Re: ?Remove x11/fbpanel

I did look at updating this port and submitted a patch regarding
duplicated menu items

" 2009-05-30 15:34:16 by Landry Breuil | Files touched by this commit (2)
Log message:
Fix issue where all desktop files were duplicated in menus, due to
g_get_system_data_dirs() reporting usr/local/share twice, cf
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1872819&group_id=66031&atid=513125
Reported & fix found by "J. Scott Heppler" shepper at earthlink.net,
thanks!
While here, drop maintainership. I don't want to be responsible for
an app with such a crappy code."

Because of this I migrated to tint2 when trying to put together a
lightweight desktop.
