Change-log:
- On some desktop-shells, the system tray icon blinking on XRUN
ocurrences, have been found responsible to excessive CPU usage, an
"eye-candy" effect which is now optional as far as Setup/Display/Blink
server mode indicator goes.
- Added French man page (by Olivier Humbert, thanks).
- Make builds reproducible byte for byte, by getting rid of the
configure build date and time stamps.
