V 2.9.1
- Fixed a trap in the XCenter widget that started after updating to XWP 1.0.12
It only occurs with multiple items in a group and also may manifest as menu

end of a resized bar which ever is less (leaves the left corner for pager)
Tickets 63, 64

- Add Create new widget submenu to the XCenter widget context menu (only works with
XWP 1.0.13 and above)

saving; changes you have made will persist until lSwitcher is restarted.

switch (currently only English and Spanish are available).
- Cleaned up some taskbar code that may fix a very rare trap.
