Bug Description

Awn-extras install some files in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib that should not be here, according to the FHS.
This is a draft proposal for the hierarchy.

compile C applets (*.so) ==> PREFIX + /lib/awn/applets/NAME_OF_APPLET
desktop files (*.desktop) ==> PREFIX + /share/awn/applets/desktop
python files (*.py) ==> PREFIX +/share/awn/applets/NAME_OF_APPLET
images ==> follow GNOME policy (don't remember the link ...)
libawn-extras ==> PREFIX + /lib (done)
AWNlib ==> PREFIX + /lib/python2.*/ (it's seems already done)

Initial patch for extras.
Not perfect, but it's remove all (except 1 glade file) not desire files from /usr/lib.
Need also to patch awn-manager. It need to look at /usr/share for *.desktop file (patch in the next comment).

Know bugs : Awn-manager doesn't find icons for python applets which have a non-stick icon. It need a patch, but the code for icons is not so clear :)

Last patch against 0.2.6 branch, I'll use it in my debian package.
I try with absolute path (like @DATADIR@) but the autogen.sh + make dist made strange {prefix} in desktop path.

Now I only need a patch of awn-manager to display icons when they have relative path :)

I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to backport the awn-extras mega-patch to 0.2.6 - I guess I'll start with the Debian patch and go from there.
