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.

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.
