This will be needed for intelligent autohiding, which is implemented by
monitoring the current WnckScreen for active window changes and hiding
the panel whenever the active window geometry overlaps with the panel.

This is for window managers to tell them a pager or tasklist
requested the action.

Start-up crashes of external plugins resulted in API being not set properly,
Then, the panel was trying to use a non-existing "wrapper" binary.
This prevented normal crash reporting mechanism from working and resulted
in an "empty" plugin being inserted into the panel.

Gtk3 plugins (e.g. xfce4-indicator-plugin/master) are not recognized
(treated as gtk2 ones).

Addeding X-XFCE-API to the plugin .desktop files to determine which
wrapper to use. This falls back to 1.0 wrapper for compatibility with
the current plugins.

Requires a gtk3 version of libxfce4-panel and wrapper to be compiled
from another branch.

This commit is only a quick hack to make the plugins to load.
It should be reworked (starting from better naming) for a release
version.

Better wrt grab and stuff.

Save every 10 minutes and on shutdown.

Give it a better name too, since insensitive panels are long
gone.

This add a difference to the panel and plugin submenu,
but it is better then nothing.

Return to the client if a plugin event was handled.

Problem:

get_requisition on external plugins returns an old size_request
value when the size of the panel is changed quickly (e.g. when
user controls the "size" slider using cursor keys).

In case of "small" external plugins this means that they are
"losing" their "small" status when the user quickly decreases
the panel size. This is because their get_requisition size
is temporarily larger than the row size. This in turn causes
a lot of flicker when the user changes (decreases) the panel size.

(the above was tested using an xfce4-mixer plugin with a patch from:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8350 )

Arguably, the itembar doesn't have to check the plugin size, only
the "small" flag. It's then the plugins responsibility to render itself
in such a way it fits in a single row.

The itembar is still using the plugin size to decide the row height.
It may temporarily be incorrect when the panel size changes quickly
but that doesn't cause flicker.

When a shrinkable plugin was shrunk too much it was
given an allocation area equal to the requested area.
In such case we'd rather want it to stay at a minimum
size (child_len=1px, which is set immediately below).

This can lead to problems if the window is destroyed
when the signal still connected: the configuration is
lost. Do this explicitly in a function, so this problem
never occurs.

The dialog was realize too soon, so the hidden widgets
make it grow for no reason.

Also remove auto save from the session mananger and
improve what is saved.

The panel is saving everything when the configuration
changes, so no need to do that in an interval and during
exit. It can only lead to data loss.

Give each panel a unique id that does not change over
its lifetime. This should prevent most of the problems
where panel configuration is lost or strange resets when
a panel is removed from the preferences dialog.
