[gnome-cy] Om in Moz sidebar

[Kevin Donnelly <kevin dotmon com>]

Dewi pointed me to some info on getting Omnivore into the Moz sidebar:
http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/sidebar/
which was rather cruel of him, because I've now spent a couple of hours 
fiddling about with it :-)

Om can now be called from the sidebar (or Cwpwrdd Cornel!).  In theory, you 
can set up a button attached to JavaScript to "install" it, but since I 
detest JS with a great loathing I'm steeling myself to bother with that (but 
if some kind soul would like to volunteer button+script, I'll gladly accept 
it!).

To see what it looks like, do the following:
1.  Go to http://wp.netscape.com/sidebar/preview.html
2.  Fill in: 
Tab Name: Omnivore
Tab URL:  http://www.kyfieithu.co.uk/kartouche/omnivore/sb_index.php
3.  Click the Preview Tab button.

Press F9 to bring up the sidebar (if it's not already there), and click on the 
Omnivore tab.  Enter a search term, and the English->Welsh equivalents should 
appear (it's only one-way at the minute).

I'd be interested in feedback on fontsizes, etc - my Moz looks OK, but I've 
always found fonts on it to be a bit of a black art; I never get them looking 
the same on any two installs.

If there is great rejoicing about this (which I doubt), I will tidy it up a 
bit, and perhaps even faff about with yucky JS so that it can be installed.  
In the meantime, this is your lot!
