Quilty as charged :). Control handling in 0.40 is a bit better, for 
instance you don't need to use the long IDs in display files after each 
control name if you don't want to. On the other hand it just might 
appear better and more understandable to me because I wrote it :)

Some time ago I looked into porting the code and it appeared to be 
harder than I thought with needed changes in various parts of 0.3x.

I won't use time as an excuse this time.. I'll make time this evening 
and see if the task can be achieved.

I'll also take a look into universal applets support.


Cheers,
Lauri
