Apwal is a simple application launcher for Linux together with a powerful editor. Apwal is developed under the GPL Licence. It is written in C and use the GTK+ toolkit for the graphical interface and XML format to save the settings.

Bind Apwal with the right button of mouse. When Apwal is launched it displays icons around the cursor with transparency. Then simply select the application you want to use.

Apwal Editor is an easy to use graphical interface to configure the Launcher. A powerful Icon Selector help you to locate your icons. A lots of filters are available to simplify the search: by extension, resolution, icon name filter with wildcard, ability to process directory recusively, etc

What's New in This Release:
debian: debian/ files updated from Sam advices.
plenty of good changes have been integrated into gtk2. Use now glib timeouts, gobject closure marshaler, gtk draw_rectangle does not require a padding of 2px in cereimg anymore. Get rid of apwal_file_selection and replace it by gtk file_chooser which allows to select a directory eventually and not only files.
add option --config i to apwal. It's now possible to create an icon calling recusively Apwal with another config file. It provides a simple way to create submenus (Thanks Bill for the idea).
Added busy cursor when loading the icons.
Remove few 'fixme:' in the code.
