Yeaaah! Cairo-Dock / GLX-Dock 3.0 has just been released! :)

So... what's new in this version? The main changes:
 * The *taskbar* has been greatly enhanced.
 * The *Log out* applet has been rewritten, now allowing you to switch users.
 * The *control of the dock from the keyboard* is now very powerful:
  * many shortkeys have been added in several applets.
  * you can activate a launcher by pressing a shortkey + its number.
  * all shortkeys can now be managed in a single place in the configuration window.
 * The *Sound Menu* from Ubuntu has been integrated into the Sound-Control applet.
 * A new *Twitter applet* lets you tweet in one click.
 * A new applet to *inhibit the screensaver* in one click.
 * Separators are transparent to click in *'Panel'* mode.
 * Cairo-Dock now uses *GTK3*, for a better integration in a Gnome desktop.
 * Few additions to the DBus API.
 * Text drawing (e.g. with Clock) has been improved.
 * Icons from user icons theme are now loaded with the right size.
