Those are some famous last words there too, re-writing an app always
seems easier in the beginning...
If it's all the same to you, I'd like to try to fix the bugs in Deskbar 1.x.

I have some doubts about a Deskbar rewrite being a practical reality
anytime soon (R1 timeframe) since, well, it does a lot of stuff, and
people like stuff, and you aren't going to reproduce all the stuff in
Deskbar 2.0 that Deskbar 1 does, so, people won't be happy with
Deskbar 2.0 because it doesn't do x even though it is better at doing
y and z.
It's like X.org and Wayland. Wayland is the new hotness that everybody
drools over, but, X.org is steadily being improved too and is what
everybody uses until Wayland matures.
Now for R2, Deskbar 2.0 sounds great, but, we're not there yet. If
you'd like to get a head start on Deskbar 2.0 though be my guest, I'll
most likely have some ideas for it down the road. :)
