Bug Description

FFe Request

Reason : Upstream released a 1.0.1, which is mostly a bugfixes release since 1.0.0 but with some small new features. Considering the among of fixes in this release, and the few new features, it's more interesting to include it as a whole than cherry-picking the fixes. Also, it's easier to discuss with upstream for potential SRU if we have 1.0.1 (the last stable release) than 1.0.0.

This FFe includes also an upgrade of libfm, which is the library used by pcmanfm, currently only used by pcmanfm. The impact of the upgrade of this library is also limited to pcmanfm. The applications (libfm and pcmanfm) are also in sync, so we need to update both.

List of the 2 Changelog since 1.0.0 (extracted from the NEWS files) :
libfm :
* Fixed slowness on loading and changing of very large folders.

* FmFolderView is converted into generic interface. Former FmFolderView
    is renamed into FmStandardView so APIs specific to it have changed
    their names and arguments. Old APIs left for compatibility reasons.
    New FmFolderView interface now contains methods to handle popups,
    keyboard and mouse gestures, including Cut/Copy/Paste operations.

* Fixed compatibility with systems that are a bit old so have neither
    decent Vala compiler nor GLib 2.26.

* Few lesser bugfixes.

pcmanfm :
* Implemented basic multi-monitor support.

* Implemented toggling fullscreen mode via 'F11' key press.

* Added tab 'Layout' into Preferences dialog.

* Few lesser bugfixes.

Packages for testing are available on https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging. They build and installed fine on 2 system.
Build log from the PPA : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging/+build/3865718 and https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-dev/+archive/staging/+build/3862438

Install log is attached.

Testing was done during the past days without regression, except 1 behavior which was reverted by the patch 06_revert_wrapping_file_name.patch in libfm.

The only potentially scary change I see here is the multimonitor support bit. gilir has already tested on a multimonitor setup, and he's going to test on a single-monitor set up. Once that passes, consider the FFe granted.

I just finish the testing with my multimonitor system after removing one of the 2 screens, and it's working as expected. I also tested on a VM with 1 screen configured and it's also working fine.
