Avant Window Navigator Support

[JonathanC]

Avant Window Navigator (http://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows.

It supports displaying status information in front of the icons of the different applications using simple DBUS calls. I have made a patch that enables sending the number of unread messages to AWN which will display them on the Evolution icon (by default).

The functionality is disabled by default and can be enabled using a gconf boolean key. Also using gconf, the name of another application whose icon must be used can be specified.
If you like the funcionality, a user interface for the settings should be added.

Let me know what you think!
