Hi Marcelo!

In the first place thanks for backporting the CVS code switching off this
dreadful icon panel. But:

--- begin quote changelog entry for wmaker (0.91.0-6) --------
  * debian/patches/60_optional_switch_panel.diff: stolen from CVS, make
    switch panel optional.  Closes the other half of 289509 (if you are
    going to report multiple issues, submit multiple bugs, I don't mind
    that)
--- end quote changelog entry for wmaker (0.91.0-6) --------

Actually the remark i made was not meant to be a request for change as part
of the actual bug report. I only wanted to express my hope for this switch
to appear sometime in the future and would have never expected this code
change to appear in Debian before a newer upstream wmaker release.  Thanks
anyway! ;-)

In any case, here is the switch interested users need to add to their
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker file to actually switch off the panel:

  SwitchPanelImages = None;

Maybe this should be added to the README.Debian file?

Alfredo's advice in his posting to the wm-devel list contained a small but
important typo: he omitted the 'e' as in 'SwitchPanelImags'...

                               Thanks a lot, P. *8^)
