Grub Customizer 4.0 released

Written for Grub Customizer by Daniel Richter on 2013-12-12

Major changes:

 * hiding placeholders by default (too confusing for most people, can be re-enabled at "view" -> "show placeholders")
 * view options
 * improved trash view (sidebar instead of separate window)
 * GTKmm 3.0 (a backport to gtkmm-2.4 exists for older distributions)
 * Theming (of grub)
 * improved appearance settings
 * script replacement detection (no more duplicates when grub scripts are replaced by an update of grub)
 * backup creation on first run (allows simple restoring of the default config)
 * more help texts
 * fallback on systems without grub-mkdevicemap/device.map (better compatibility)

Grub Customizer 2.5 released

Written for Grub Customizer by Daniel Richter on 2011-12-28

This new version allows you to create or remove submenus (earlier version only allowed renaming of submenus or hiding them). Also there are some changes which are making the usage on live cds easier: the usage of policykit instead of su-to-root -> the package menu (from the universe source) isn't required anymore (only >= oneiric) and the oneiric live cds will be detected properly as live cd now.

According to Bug 900974, I changed the location of the menu entry. You'll find it on System -> Settings now! Before it has been on the application menu.
