Right then, it's up!

Get it from here:

	http://sourceforge.net/project/filelist.php?group_id=7023

Note: Please upgrade to GTK+ 1.2.8 or later - earlier versions are buggy and
may cause the filer to crash when using the 'spring opening' directories
feature.

Changes:

Added 'spring-loaded' directories. If you drag a file over a directory and
hold it there, the directory will spring open! (suggested by Barney
Clarkson)

Added a popup menu of commonly used chmod strings to the Permissions box.

Bug fix: Mount points on the pinboard didn't always redraw when the
mounted/unmounted state changed.

Renaming now uses the action windows. This means that you can now rename
something onto another filesystem.

The menu key bindings are now only saved if they actually changed.

All the panel code has been completely rewritten:

- Panels are now stored in Choices (allowing a system admistrator to set
  up defaults which individual users can override),
- The icons may be arranged as you please, and can go on either side of
  the bar,
- Panels can be scrolled if they get too long.
- Verticle left and right panels are available, in addition to the old top
  and bottom panels,
- Icons can be dragged from panels to other applications.

The install script no longer overwrites the handlers for text/plain and
application/postscript if they are already defined (spotted by Martin Ward).

When the filer is in 'target mode' (waiting for you to click on something
to delete, copy, etc) a message is displayed in the toolbar to remind you.

There is a new option to set the default height for new filer windows
(patch from James Kermode).

The timeout for the spring-open feature is now configurable (requested by
Chris Garrett).

Now uses the short form of --version in install.sh and doesn't try to use
unsetenv() if it isn't available (Mattias Engdegård) - fixes problems with
