Bug Description

Hi
Currently the manager use a list and an horrible hack to display the different configuration panels.
With this patch the manager use a notebook making window.glade more natural.

Thanks for tagging the bug appropriately.

This is a rather large patch, so I'm hesitant to place it in my branch without seeing a screenshot of the "new" awn-manager. Do you mind attaching one to the bug?

In reality this is not a *large* patch, because GTK handle the tab managing so I remove the related parts in awnManager.in.py.
Concerning window.glade, I moved the panels in the tabs therefore the patch look huge but its only code movement.

I appreciate how much better this will look when working on the interface in glade.

On an aesthetic note, I'd like to have the text below the icon in this mode, otherwise the tabs look rather strange. I can take a stab at it, when I get some time.

Just a funny note, this is how I had the manager setup up back in July.

But it was suggested that I not go that way.

To be honest I like the tabs, as long as the tab names stay a reasonable length.

Technically speaking, the patch is gone from the various branches. I committed a patch from Ryan that keeps the notebook-based layout for the various sections (so you don't see a continuous vbox in glade), but keep the IconView selector widget on the left, instead of the (IMO) ugly tabs. So the intent is still there :)
