Allright, Mikkel, you must teach me how to add a new category in the
TYPE dictionnary.

In the future, should we put the statement in a try/catch clause ? I
fear that it would hide the failures, and we wouldn't know about new
categories..

This particular issue doesn't happen here. I made a small change in the
handler nonetheless. Can you update your repository and try again ?

If you are using gnome 2.12 this is a known issue, and we currently have
no fix for it..
If using 2.13, it should work.

What is the use case for that ? I think it would conflict with people
using multiple monitors ?

For my usage just popping up in the current window (where the panel is
displayed) is ok..

Hmm, this is weird, i'll leave that to mikkel, he's the beagle-pro :)

Thanks for the feedback, and keep trying CVS these days, we need
reports !
