Add a setting to hide the launchpad menu items

Thank you for your bug, patches are welcome for that. Not sure if that would be easy to do since applications are patched to add menu separators and a place holder

Note the liblaunchpad-integration doesn't Depends on gconf as we patch GTK applications also

We could use an environment variable, the launchpad-integration API needs to be updated to add separators which is done with the applications changes currently

I have suggested in the past that a simple way to do this would be to disable the menu items if /usr/bin/launchpad-integration is not present. In this case, the items wouldn't work anyway, and this would make it trivial to disable by uninstalling the package.

The library should recommend launchpad-integration, rather than depend on it, to allow this to be trivially disabled by uninstalling the package

I'd like someone to have a look over my changes please. You can pull them from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~themuso/launchpad-integration/new-api

If all looks good, I'll push to the main branch, and upload.

thank you for your work on that Luke, some comments about the changes:

- you need to bump the shlibs version
- don't use g_return_if_fail to return when launchpad-integration is not install, that will raise a critical warning, you should rather use a simple if (g_find_program_in_path ("launchpad-integration")) return;
- the library version could be updated in the configure so other applications could version their requirements

not sure on whether looking for the program in the path is a good idea, would it make sense to use an environment variable rather? I try to avoid creating extra ios when not required. Once those issue fixed I think that can be uploaded to hardy

This bug was fixed in the package launchpad-integration - 0.1.16
