Done - I have no idea what that is, but there's always this weekend to
find out...

Ooo, play by mail with evolution! Nice, never thought of that. Tell you
what though, how about I actually get a working GNOME app here before I

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I write a good widget for the board it
can always be packed into a component later? So it's not as if the
Bonobo option is off the table for good.
