The LXPanel 0.7.0 is in Debian already, and I believe at least 0.7.x
with bugfixes will be in Debian before the freeze. I'm afraid we cannot
promise full-featured version (with fixed multi-monitor problems, full
drag & drop support, fixed accessibility issues) will be ready in time,
unfortunately. And fixes on 1.2.x LibFM//PCManFM are coming into Debian
ASAP as well. I'll review all non-major components too if some of them
need upload to have all the LXDE in Debian in the best shape before the
freeze. Also I hope that next release (I dare to make it stable 1.0.0) of
the libmenu-cache (closing all the issues) will be in Debian before its
freeze as well.
