'fmenu' - program launcher

As there was an apparent lack of PalmOS/WinCE style program launchers, I
wrote my own. the 'fmenu' executable can go anywhere, fmenu.glade wants
to go in /usr/share/.
It reads all of the files in /usr/lib/fmenu/ and /mnt/ramfs/fmenu/, the
format is very simple. (There are a few examples in the tarball).

Each file has four lines.
line 1 is the proper, displayed name (eg. Dillo or Web Browser)
line 2 is the executable name (eg dillo)
line 3 is the icon name (eg /usr/share/pixmaps/dillo.png)
line 4 is the group name.

There is a clock in the top-left corner - it is actually a menu with
'refresh' and 'quit' (hitting the 'X' has been disabled because I don't
want to accidentally kill it off). In the middle is an APM monitor, the
top-right has the group selector.

Please, bash it around - iPAQ binaries included.

The only problem I know of is that when you press the group drop-down,
the list (in the background) often changes to "All"; this appears to be
a Gtk problem AFAICT. It doesn't affect the usability though.
