Hey, this is pretty neat!  I'm happy to see people extended Beagle into
other areas.  Even if you don't go the Scoop route, I think that just
having a Beagle gdesklet is a great thing.

I also noticed that you're using the XML API directly.  Nicely done.
Soon we'll have a C API... one could either bind that into python or
also write a native python interface.

Once you get it into a state you feel good about releasing, you should
definitely add a page for it to the Wiki.

Thanks!
Joe
