Works fine now.

Ok, I'm using gnome 2.12 and will wait for 2.14. Hope you make it into 2.14.

Hmmm, now I'm talking nitty-gritty-stuff, but my PERSONAL take is that
it could be useful since it would cater for a more direct manner in
which to decide which workspace to launch the "search result" at. Also
it could perhaps be useful to view search results side by side with the
display of some other application? To me it adds to the idea of
workspaces as one desktop, with lots of space. Anyway the time-applet in
gnome shows on all workspaces. The volume-applet on the other hand
prevents changing workspace.

http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/deskbar-applet/ is my favorite website
these days!
