Now you can have desktop icons that point to devices that the user has permission to mount. For example, floppies and CD-ROMS that have the "user" option in /etc/fstab. You can eject/mount/umount the devices with a single click!
Double clicking on mountable devices, now mounts the device and launches a panel on the mount point.
Cool hacks
When you DnD icons from the panel to the desktop, you now get the icon and the text from the panel displayed. Right there on your desktop. It is amazing how little code this required. Like 5 lines.
Bug fixes, assorted enhancements:
Auto-restart on crash when running under GNOME session.
An option to quit the file manager. 2 query dialog boxes are there, so you wont quit it by mistake.
Symlinks to executables now behave propery from the property-dialog box point of view.
Drag and drop bugs fixed. I dragged pretty much everywere on my system. It is a miracle I figured how to move things back to their original location. Morale: dont leave me close to a gmc console in your root account.
URLs pasted to the entries actually work.
Support for non-GNOME compliant window managers work (ie, the desktop menu is available for everyone).
Memory leak fixes found by a kind sould running Insure.
Alpha fixes (George Lebl).
Desktop menu includes an option to create a new window.
