I'd agree - defer to 0.36.4 since we already have a number of new features
and bug fixes implemented.

I would push back SideCandy 0.2...it does seem a little too time-consuming
for now.

I agree with you...with all the bugs you've been fixing, I think it'd be
good to get 0.36.3 out there soon.  Maybe we should shoot for a date so we
don't keep putting it off - how about July 15th?  I'd like to try to get one
more feature in (dbus support for controls) in addition to the above two.

I volunteer to look into the "path to configuration" blueprint, unless you
really care to do it.  Last January, Andres Martano was inquiring about a
similar feature to the "requester control"
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/gdesklets/+spec/control-for-requester) and
it seems he has some knowledge of pygtk that could be useful.  If he's
reading and is interested, we could use some help implementing that, right?? :)
