Thanks, mate.  Admittedly, I use my applet less often these days, since
Epiphany can Google directly from the location bar.  And as a full-blown
application, Epiphany gets a global keyboard shortcut, which (AFAICT) an
applet cannot.  Kudos to the Ephy guys - it rocks my world!

Tip #1: Stick the Deskbar Applet in the bottom-left corner (and kick out
the show-desktop button) for maximum Fitts goodness.  I've been so much
less productive when looking up anything and everything in the Wikipedia
is just a slam-the-mouse-in-the-corner away.  :)

Tip #2: I just came across www.yubnub.org a couple of days ago.  Add
this engine to the Deskbar Applet:
