C version of ROX-Session re-released

Main node on rox.sourceforge.net: 
Version: 
0.40.0

While ROX-Session was rewritten in python, mainly to overcome problems with DBUS, the original C version was kept maintained and improved in svn. Eventually DBUS' API stabilised.

The C branch is now considered more stable, functional and actively developed than the python branch so it has been re-released, arbitrarily as version 0.40.0.

There are still some loose ends to tidy up ie translations and 0install feeds, but English-speaking users installing from source tarballs should consider upgrading now.
